Pushing across a run in the 12th inning, the Brewers edged the Blue Jays, 4-3. The game was tied, 3-3, when Paul Molitor began the Brewers' 12th with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Robin Yount. Cecil Cooper then beat out a single in the hole at shortstop and a wild throw to first by Alfredo Griffin permitted Molitor to reach third. Ben Oglivie hit a chopper to second and reached first as Molitor was caught in a rundown and tagged out at the plate. After Milwaukee Manager Buck Rodgers was ejected for arguing the call on Molitor, Larry Hisle singled up the middle to plate Cooper with the winning run. [The Sporting News] |
