Both teams scored in the sixth.
Michaels made one for the Fifteenth
with a homer, his second in the

in the outfield. Several of the extra
base hits would not have been good
for as many bases on a smoother dia-
mond.

inning was three runs made when
Brought walked, Buckley sacrificed,
and Vaughn got on through a tumble.
