A two-out single by Cecil Cooper in the ninth inning for his fourth hit of the game gave the Brewers a 2-1 triumph over the Angels. Gorman Thomas led off the inning with a walk and advanced on a sacrifice. Dick Davis grounded out, Thomas holding second. Paul Molitor was given an intentional walk and both runners moved up on a passed ball. Thomas then scored on Cooper's liner to center.

Ron Fairly staked the Angels to a 1-0 lead with a leadoff homer in the fourth, but the Brewers tied the score on a single by Cooper, a groundout and single by Ben Oglivie. Cooper's ninth-inning single made a winner of Lary Sorensen, who pitched a five-hitter. [The Sporting News]
