49,144 fans were treated to a fine game at Network Asc Coliseum as only one
run separated the combatants at game's end.  The Lake Erie Mohawks won by the
slimmest of margins, 7 to 6.

The score was tied at 5 after nine.  Finally, Lake Erie pulled the game out in
the 11th inning.  After an out was recorded, Mickey Cochrane tripled.  Cupid
Childs stepped up to the plate and he was walked intentionally.  Hoyt Wilhelm
then was walked intentionally to load the bases.  One out later, Roger Nelson
came up and he bounced one in the dirt for a wild pitch resulting in an
exciting win for Lake Erie and a wild post-game celebration by the home town
fans.  This was the kind of game that many fans love as the lead changed
hands 5 times. 

Wilhelm(2-3) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. The loss was
charged to Nelson(0-1) in relief.  He surrendered 1 hit and 2 walks in 2/3 of
an inning.
