| Two wild throws enabled the Yankees to score the deciding run in a 3-2 victory over the Angels. Thurman Munson walked in the sixth inning and took second on a wild pickoff attempt by Tom Murphy. After advancing on an infield out, Munson scored when catcher John Stephenson threw wildly trying to pick him off third base. [The Sporting News] |
