And the Brewers get the sweep of L.A. in their final four regular season home games of the 1984 season, the last three all by 6-4 scores.
Ben Hartman (.356/.388/.463, 3.6 WAR in 420 PA) and
Victor Martinez (.293/.373/.438, 4.0 WAR in 464 PA), who along with
Myles Ford were probably the best position players on the team and mark a changing of the guard for the club, led the way in the final game of this series.
Hartman, hitting in the leadoff slot, went 3 for 4 with 3 runs scored and an RBI, hitting his 9th home run of the season.
And
Martinez chipped in with a 3 for 4, 1 run scored, 2 RBI game and was in the middle of turning a pair of double plays on defense.
Sadahige Kawasaki (10-11, 4.32), who returned from a torn UCL suffered in the 1982 post-season which sidelined him for all of 1983 clearly diminished at age 36, pitched a strong game in this one, good enough for the win anyway.
The Washington Night Train clinched the SJL East yesterday and so now three of the four post-season spots have been clinched and it all just comes down to the three-team race in the MGL West.
