It was a good day for California thanks to Howell. He laced a one-base hit in the 4th inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 6th inning and lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in the 8th inning. The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 6th inning.
Witt(9-14) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. The losing pitcher was Tom Waddell(7-9). He gave up 2 runs and 6 hits in 6 and 2/3 innings.
