May 11, 1969...GAME 28 (SEA 4, WAS 1)

When you need a win to bust out of a slump you need to got to the B & B boys (Brabender and Bouton). Gene went 7 innings and gave up only 1 run, but his arm was ready to fall off. Bulldog came on and didn't allow a hit in 2 innings to notch his 1st save of the season. Sal Maglie second guess nothing. Joe Schultz promised him time to throw in the bullpen whenever he needed it. Jim Gosger, who is hitting .073, must really make his hits count as he blasted a 2 run shot off of Hannan in the 4th to make the score 3-0 Pilots, who never looked back. After 28 games the expansion Pilots are now 14-14, which is more than respectable for a 1st year club.
