April 29, 1969...GAME 17 (CAL 2, SEA 1)

Mary Pattin pitched a complete game gem and only gave up 2 runs. Unfortunately for the Pilots California's Jim McGlothlin gave up 1 run and outdueled Marty. Jay Johnstone homered in the 1st to start the scoring. No one scored after Reichardt singled Davillio home in the 3rd. Foul mouthed Oyler knocked in the Pilots only run. Hegan is still over .400, but most importantly one Jim Bouton was called up from Vancouver after holidaying in balmy Hawaii. The bulldog never got into the game, but had a fantastic dialogue with pitching coach Maglie:

Sal: Hi, what time did you get in

Bouton: 8 yesterday morning from Hawaii

Sal: Humglmpf

And they say coaches aren't articulate...
