Johnny Podres had a strong outing and Norm Cash had 2 base hits and 3 RBI as
the Detroit Tigers staged a dramatic comeback over the New York AL Yankees by
a score of 8 to 7 at Tiger Stadium.
Detroit erupted with the game winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning
scoring 3 runs using 3 hits. Dick McAuliffe led off and keyed the rally when
he ripped a base-knock. Al Kaline came next and he doubled. Cash then was
walked intentionally to load the bases. Joe Adcock stepped in and he drew a
walk plating a run. Jim Northrup stepped into the box and hit a sacrifice
fly bringing in another run. Bill Freehan continued the rally and delivered
a single giving Detroit the victory and sending the 45,658 home-town fans
home happy. Detroit had 15 hits for the night while New York AL had 8.
Ron Kline(4-6) was the winner allowing no runs in 1 inning. The loss was
charged to Dooley Womack(4-1) in relief. Kline and Cash were really whooping
it up in the clubhouse after the great come from behind victory. As
Detroit's manager noted, 'A win like this one can do wonders for a team's
attitude.' Everyone shares in the joy - the fans, the players - even you guys
- it's better than winning by a dozen runs!'

This game had all sorts of hitting, from Al Kaline's 6 for 6....to Bobby Murcer's first hit of the year.
Dick McAuliffe lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and had 4 RBI at Tiger
Stadium as the Detroit Tigers, running on all cylinders, ripped the New York
AL Yankees by a large 16 to 4 margin.
McAuliffe made sure the Detroit fans enjoyed themselves. He lofted a
three-run 'big-fly' (his 21st of the season) in the 2nd inning, delivered a
base-hit in the 4th inning and ripped a base-knock which scored a run in the
5th inning. Detroit bats were hot in the 5th inning when they had 5 runs on
