Left fielder Pete Rose had 2 base hits as the Detroit Polecats staged a
dramatic comeback over the Pittsburgh Bichipoos by a score of 8 to 7 at The
Couch.

Detroit scored the winning runs in the top of the 9th inning with 2 runs on 4
base hits.  Dave Johnson opened up the inning nicely when he ripped a
base-knock.  Jorge Orta came next and he laced a base-knock.  After an out
was recorded, Bill Russell then stroked a base-hit to load the bases.  One
out later, Al Oliver stepped up to the plate and he stroked a single which
scored a run.  Ron Cey came up to bat and drew a walk scoring the final run
of the inning.  Detroit finished with 11 hits in the victory.  

Fred Scherman(1-0) went 4 innings allowing no runs for the win. Dave Giusti
got the save, his 6th.  Bill Campbell(1-4) was the losing pitcher in relief.
He gave up 3 hits and no walks in 1/3 of an inning.  

Campbell was feeling apologetic in the locker room, 'I sure let that one get
away.  What a miserable feeling to let the guys down; and our fans.  One
minute things are looking great, then. BOOM, it's over with! I just hope I
get a chance to redeem myself real soon!'
