PURDIN A STALWART FIXTURE GOES SIX INNINGS IN RELIEF.
The Anaheim Angels waltzed right out into a 8-0 lead in the early going of this marathon affair, but by the 9th inning however, it was all even and time for some free baseball.
The Angels scored four times in the second inningwith all the runs coming via the long ball. Billy Henley hit his 8th of the season to wet the appitite of things to come. Walt Harlow got on with a single and Tommy Herr blasted his first as an Angel to up the score to 3-0.
Catcher Bob Chamberlain took over the spotlight by going back to back with Herr to make the lead four runs.
Just one inning later Henley drove in a run with a single and the score was 5-0. Harlow slowed things by rapping into a double play tha resulted in Charlie Knowlton scoring from third.
Tommy Herr walked and scored on Chamberlain's second homer of the game.
The Monarchs begin chipping away in the 5th. Red Butler drove in Pep Shaw (double) with a single off Johnny Bluma (8.1 IP 10 H 6 Runs 1 walk 6 sTRIKEOUTS.) to make it 8-1.
Joey Orta's 6th of the season with a man on inched them a bit closer 8-3.
A 5th inning run that upped the score to 9-3 seemed to signal all was over. The run came after releaver Hal imlay walked and pinch hitter Ricky McGehee (batting for Chamberlain) smoked a triple.
It was about to change a lot more than that and upset Chamberlain's restful state after coming out of the game as his team's potential greatest benefactor of the day.
Bluma allowed a two run homerun off the bat of Frank Dettore to make a close game of it 9-6.
Elmer Lowery's single scored another runsent a serious stirring throughout the Anaheim dugout when the score reached 9-7.
The author of those two early homers said, "I suddeny felt like a spry rooster invited to dinner only to discover he was the main course at the dinner."
Ken Otto homered to tie the score 9-9.
The Monarchs victimized Bill Eddy and Jack Wasdell, Anaheim's bullpen aces.
And then the innings began to drift by to amount to the equivalent of an entire game thanks to some solid bullpen work on both sides.
For Anaheim, it was Bobby Hafferth, Gordie Branch, and Charlie Purdin in long relief (6 innings 5 hits 2 walks 4 strikeouts. Purdin improved his record at 3-0 with the win.
McGehee hit the eight homer in this game to decide matters. His winning blast came off Irv Papa.
In regards to the long balls, Anaheim hit five of the eight, three came off the bats of the Angels' catchers providing the team with five runs batted in during the game.
In other scores Tampa Bay lost 4-2 to Baltimore a fell two games behind the streaking Angels. Toronto defeated the LA Stars 6-3 and Chicago rolled over Texas 16-2.
In the NL first place Atlanta downed Montreal 6-4. Houston 3 Chicago 2, The LA Jags took care of St Louis 6-4. San Francisco 4 Brooklyn 3.
Atlanta lead red hot San Francisco by two games. San Francisco is coming on strong having taken 8 of their last ten games. The 8-2 streak equals the 8-2 pace of Anaheim in the American League for the hottest team currently.
