May 13, 1969...GAME 30 (SEA 3, NYY 2)

Roommates Bell and Bouton (Killer B's ?) combined for the win over Yankee ace and Washington state native Mel Stottlemyre took the loss. The Bombers were up 2-1, when Seattle touched Mel for 2 in the 5th. Don Mincher singled home both Tommy Harper and Mike Hegan who reached base on consecutive walks. The news of the day was that Bouton threw 3 hitless / scoreless innings to notch his 2nd save of the season and more importantly get some sense of satisfaction. Prior to the contest Yankee skipper Ralph Houk commented on how well the Bulldog looked this season. The Bulldog intimated that he wouldn't mind coming back to NY to finish his career and be close to home.
