Al Patterson, who finished with two RBIs and scored four runs, singled his first trip to the plate. Dan Depalma doubled to left, Ramage and Rocky Johanson singled to give the Timberman two runs in the top of the first.

Patterson scored runs in the third and fourth inning and had two RBIs in the fourth. Tim Dunkley,
Ken Yorsten and Dan McMillian all scored in the four-run fourth inning.
