BUCS WIN TU WEST IN PLAYOFF, REDBIRDS FALL
Almost everything went perfect for Bay St. Clair in the final days of the season. The surprising Buccaneers came on strong winning three of their last four games to tie Denton City for first place in the Tycobbian West. The Redbirds collapsed, losing the final four games of the season and then falling 7-2 in the single-game playoff for the division flag and a spot in the postseason playoffs.
Don White (13-15/4.20), the number three man in the Bucs' starting rotation, came up with a big win... he went into the eighth frame and gave up only one earned run to stifle the heartbroken Redbirds... two rookie relievers Cadillac Bogart and Steve Swanwick got the final four outs to seal the win... Val Farnsworth (14-6/2.56) took the loss for the Redbirds... he allowed all seven runs in six and two-thirds innings... four of them were earned... 1B Clive Caviness (.286) walloped two homers, good for five runs to lead the Buccaneers at the plate... LF Butch Thornhill (.256) also homered. Caviness' two-run shot in the sixth put the Bucs up for good and his three-run blast in the seventh totally finished them off.
