New York had the winning rally in the top of the 9th inning with 3 runs using 4 hits. Thurman Munson led off and started the attack as he reached on an error. Chris Chambliss came next and he smacked a single. Cliff Johnson then lined a base-hit, and an error was also committed. Reggie Jackson stepped in and he hit a deep fly. Lou Piniella stepped into the box and laced a one-base hit. Graig Nettles added to the uprising and banged out a single. One out later, Willie Randolph stepped up to the plate and he drew a walk to load the bases. New York banged out 8 hits on the night. Dick Tidrow(3-1) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 and 1/3 innings and allowing no runs. Sparky Lyle earned the save, his 17th. The loss was charged to Jerry Garvin(8-4). Roy Hartsfield was understandably not very talkative after his team's tough loss. He quickly showered and changed and when asked about the game had a terse, yet polite response, 'Hey fellows, that game was a heart-breaker to lose. Our guys gave it their all and played well - fate just wasn't smilin' on us tonight' [2] [1]SCORESHEET: 1977 New York Yankees at 1977 Toronto Blue Jays W.Randol-A1 A1:G/53 B1:Si *6*:G/63 D1:K E1:W>12 b 1 M.Rivers-A1 A2:P/2 B2:K C2:W>b1 D2:F/9 E2:L/6 T.Munson-A1 A3:K *4*:G/53 C3:Do>1# *9*:E/4 C.Chambl-A1 *2*:P/4 B4:L/5 C4:L/3 D4:Si>12 C.Johnso-A1 A5:Do B5:L/6 C5:G/43 D5:Si+E/1 P.Blair-D6 >2# 13 R.Jackso-A1 A6:P/5 *5*:G/43 *7*:K D6:SF/9>3 # L.Piniel-A1 A7:G/43 B7:Si C7:L/5 D7:Si>2# G.Nettle-A1 *3*:G/31 B8:F/8 C8:G/31 D8:Si>13 B.Dent-A1 A9:F/7 B9:P/6 *8*:P/6 D9:P/6 B.Bailor-A1 A1:G/53 B1:Si C1:P/5 D1:Si E1:P/6 S.Ewing-A1 A2:E/8>b2 B2:SB+E/2 C2:K D2:SB>12 E2:F/9 >13 K Si>2# A.Woods-A1 A3:P/4 *4*:P/2 *6*:Si D3:F/9 R.Fairly-A1 A4:L/3 B4:Si C4:F/9 *8*:F/8 D.Rader-A1 *2*:K B5:L/3 C5:Si>12 D5:F/7 O.Velez-A1 A6:P/2 B6:F/7 C6:F/8 D6:K J.Scott-A1 A7:W>b1 C *5*:Si C7:G/13 *9*:Si D.Ault-D7 S/24>1o H.Torres-A1 *3*:G/43 B8:HR>1# *7*:K D8:L/4 S.Staggs-D8 b# A.Ashby-A1 A9:G/3 B9:F/8 C9:G/43 D9:Si>12 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 1 *** 0 W.Randolph 4- 4 5 Ground Out b-0 1 M.Rivers 6- 4 1 Pop Out b-0 2 T.Munson 6- 7 4 Strike Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 1 *** 0 B.Bailor 3- 4 3 Ground Out b-0 1 S.Ewing 4- 4 6 2 Base Error - CF b-2 1 2 A.Woods 5- 7 1 Pop Out b-0 2 2 R.Fairly 3- 3 5 Line Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 2 *** 0 C.Chambliss 3- 4 4 Pop Out b-0 1 C.Johnson 3- 8 3 Double b-2 1 2 R.Jackson 6- 8 3 Pop Out b-0 2 2 L.Piniella 1-11 1 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 2 *** 0 D.Rader 2- 7 3 Strike Out b-0 1 O.Velez 5-10 2 Pop Out b-0 2 J.Scott 4- 6 5 Walk b-1 2 1 1 Caught Stealing 1-o [1]*** TOP OF INNING 3 *** 0 G.Nettles 2- 7 4 Ground Out b-0 1 B.Dent 5- 8 6 Fly Out b-0 2 W.Randolph 4- 6 14 5 Single b-1 2 1 M.Rivers 5- 7 3 Strike Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 3 *** 0 H.Torres 1-11 6 Ground Out b-0 1 A.Ashby 2- 5 2 Ground Out b-0 2 B.Bailor 3- 5 2 Single b-1 2 1 1 SB & Error - C 1-3 2 3 S.Ewing 2- 7 6 Strike Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 4 *** 0 T.Munson 2- 8 2 Ground Out b-0 1 C.Chambliss 2- 6 1 Line Out b-0 2 C.Johnson 3- 7 15 2 Line Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 4 *** 0 A.Woods 5-10 3 Pop Out b-0 1 R.Fairly 3- 5 19 5 Single b-1 1 1 D.Rader 5- 6 1 Line Out b-0 2 1 O.Velez 4- 8 18 1 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 5 *** 0 R.Jackson 5- 9 2 Ground Out b-0 1 L.Piniella 3- 6 3 Single b-1 1 1 G.Nettles 1- 6 1 Fly Out b-0 2 1 B.Dent 2- 4 5 Pop Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 5 *** 0 J.Scott 6- 4 5 Single b-1 0 1 H.Torres 6- 5 1 Home Run 1-H b-H 0 A.Ashby 1- 8 5 Fly Out b-0 1 B.Bailor 2- 3 3 Pop Out b-0 2 S.Ewing 3-10 3 Strike Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 6 *** 0 W.Randolph 2- 8 3 Ground Out b-0 1 M.Rivers 4- 7 4 Walk b-1 1 1 T.Munson 5- 6 19 5 Double 1-H b-2 1 2 C.Chambliss 6- 7 2 Line Out b-0 2 2 C.Johnson 4- 8 4 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 6 *** 0 A.Woods 2- 6 3 Single b-1 0 1 R.Fairly 3-10 3 Fly Out b-0 1 1 D.Rader 3- 9 3 Single 1-2 b-1 1 12 O.Velez 4-10 5 Fly Out b-0 2 12 J.Scott 4- 2 5 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 7 *** 0 R.Jackson 3- 6 3 Strike Out b-0 1 L.Piniella 3-12 1 Line Out b-0 2 G.Nettles 6-11 5 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 7 *** 0 H.Torres 1- 7 3 Strike Out b-0 1 A.Ashby 1- 6 2 Ground Out b-0 2 B.Bailor 2- 6 4 Single b-1 2 1 1 Stolen Base 1-2 2 2 S.Ewing 2- 6 6 Single 2-H b-1 SUBSTITUTE P - Dick Tidrow 2 1 A.Woods 3- 6 6 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 8 *** 0 B.Dent 2- 4 4 Pop Out b-0 1 W.Randolph 5- 7 5 Strike Out b-0 2 M.Rivers 4-12 2 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 8 *** 0 R.Fairly 6- 7 2 Fly Out b-0 1 D.Rader 6- 8 5 Fly Out b-0 2 O.Velez 3- 6 4 Strike Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 9 *** 0 T.Munson 6- 2 3 1 Base Error - 2B b-1 0 1 C.Chambliss 6-10 3 Single 1-2 b-1 0 12 C.Johnson 5-11 3 Single & Error - P 2-H 1-3 b-2 SUBSTITUTE PR- Paul Blair 0 23 R.Jackson 5- 2 1 Sac Fly 3-H b-0 1 2 L.Piniella 6- 6 13 3 Single 2-H b-1 1 1 G.Nettles 3- 8 1 Single 1-3 b-1 SUBSTITUTE P - Jerry Johnson 1 1 3 B.Dent 1-10 3 Pop Out b-0 2 1 3 W.Randolph 6- 6 5 Walk 1-2 b-1 2 123 M.Rivers 2- 4 4 Line Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 9 *** SUBSTITUTE DH- Paul Blair SUBSTITUTE P - Sparky Lyle SUBSTITUTE PH- Doug Ault 0 D.Ault 4- 7 3 Single b-1 SUBSTITUTE PH- Steve Staggs 0 1 S.Staggs 6- 9 2 Line Out b-0 1 1 A.Ashby 4- 6 3 Single 1-2 b-1 1 12 B.Bailor 3- 3 6 Pop Out b-0 2 12 S.Ewing 4- 5 18 5 Fly Out b-0
