...Cortland St. contest was only a five-inning affair, and a Mark Bingham homerun in the Crimson's four-run fifth was the deadly blow. Alevisos came on for McOsker in the fifth with the score 5-3 to shut the door without yielding...
Walsh reluctantly agreed with Califano that the whole affair was basically a "misunderstanding" about how much supervision Califano wanted the General Counsel's Office to exercise. Califano and the senators then agreed that Walsh was a fine investigator, and that welfare cheaters should be prosecuted, and that Champion was a fine choice for Undersecretary.

Two successful penalty kicks by Albala added six more points and closed out the scoring for the match...
