May 22, 1969...GAME 32 (WAS 9, SEA 8)

"Ole Roomie" Gary Bell got torched for 8 runs (7 earned) in just over 3 innings of work, but Bouton got the loss since the team rallied to tie it. Jimbo gave up 1 unearned run in the 5th as Cox and Knowles blanked the Pilots for the final 5 stanzas. John Kennedy and Mike Hegan had key errors in the 5th to help give away the game. Mincher hit his 5th on the season, but the Pilots got swept by the Senators and now are riding a 3 game losing streak. Two big revelations occurred:Maglie and Bouton fought again about how many pitches he threw warming up in the pen (180) and Ray Oyler got discovered an errection in the back of the bus. Joe Schultz said he'd talk to Maglie and Oyler promptly offered to buy the bus.
