Juan Marichal pitched a complete game and first baseman Orlando Cepeda had 2
base hits at Candlestick Park as the Hinckley Buzzards won in their last
at-bat beating the Athens Bobkittens by the count of 5 to 3.

Hinckley scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning scoring 2
runs on 2 hits.  Dale Murphy led off the inning for Hinckley when he slapped
a one-base hit.  Murphy got a good lead and stole second.  After an out was
recorded, Ralph Kiner came up and he cleared the fences for a two-run home
run (his 6th of the season) giving Hinckley the victory as 36,690 happy fans
celebrated wildly.  Hinckley finished with 9 hits in the victory. 

The victory was credited to Marichal(5-8) who went the distance, allowing 3
runs. Three Finger Brown(8-4) was tagged with the loss in relief.  He pitched
1 inning allowing 2 hits and no walks.

The win by Hinckley was very good news as they had been 2-8 of late.  Now
their seasonal record improves to 37-67.  With the loss Athens now has a
record of 59-43.
