1978 END OF SEASON & ALCS
We finished the season in 1st place at 106-56, and that set up a grudge match against the Baltimore Orioles, who upset the Rangers last year.
The first game in Texas was a nailbiter that we walked off in the bottom of the 13th inning from a single by substitute Juan Beniquez! I'm using the Blyleven as stopper in the bullpen strategy, and it worked well as he gave us a few solid innings going into extra time.
A key moment was when Jim Kern had the bases loaded against him in the top of the 13th, and he nabbed a strikeout to escape the inning. Tense moments.
