...mounted an eighth-inning rally. Maspons reached third when a fly to deep right blew away from Rick Rabideau. A Vierra single scored Maspons, and a McAndrews hit and a Frank Caprio walk loaded the bases. Ziegler came in to relieve starter Mark Zapatka, and Vallone hit his Texas Leaguer.

Bush, the well-bred Ivy Leaguer, does not attack his opponents very convincingly. Instead of going for the jugular, he often feints and pricks without cutting deep.

There was a quick Coke commercial for Jim Craig, the goalie everyone wrapped in a flag, but the flavor did not last. American Express has just revived the 1980 team...
