Rico Carty doubled to open the rally and, after an intentional pass to Boog Powell, Larvell Blanks singled to score Carty. Buddy Bell followed with a single, driving in Powell. Blanks and Bell took an extra base on the throw home, leading to an intentional pass to Tommy Smith. Ray Fosse capitalized on the opportunity with a single, adding the Indians' clinching pair.
