May 9, 1969...GAME 26 (WAS 4, SEA 2)

The combination of Marshall and Bouton could not out pace Joe Coleman. Marshall gave up 4 runs over 8 innings, while the Pilots could only scratch out 2 harmless runs. Bouton pitched a scoreless 9th and recorded to K's. Frank Howard, the Capital Punisher, wend deep for a solo shot. Why does anyone pitch to him ? Maglie says to give him low heat on the outside corner. Shoot if pitching were really that easy...
