After seven effective innings, David Clyde tired and was knocked out in the eighth by the Brewers, who defeated the Rangers' 18-year-old high school prize, 6-4. Bob Coluccio started Clyde's downfall with a double and scored on a single by Dave May, who also crossed the plate on singles by Don Money and George Scott before Clyde left the mound.

Bill Gogolewskl, in relief, walked Johnny Briggs and three more runs followed on a sacrifice fly by Ellie Rodriguez and single by Tim Johnson. Jim Fregosi hit a homer for the Rangers. [The Sporting News]
