Pounding their old nemesis Jim Barr, the Cardinals thumped the Giants, 9-4, in the first game of a doubleheader, but Frisco, behind Ed Halicki, came back to win the second game, 6-0. In the opener, Jerry Mumphrey led the Redbird attack with a double, single and three RBIs. He singled home a pair of runs in the fourth inning and scored on a single by Jerry Morales. His two-bagger came in the fifth following a triple by Garry Templeton.

In the second game, a double by Mike Sadek in the second inning drove home Larry Herndon, who had been hit by a pitch, and Johnnie LeMaster, who had walked. The Giants added another pair in the fourth on a walk to Darell Evans, a throwing error by pitcher John Urrea on a grounder by Hector Cruz and a single by LeMaster. Jack Clark doubled home the final two tallies in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
