Nothing Much Else Happened: June 7, 1978

Today, the Dodgers lost another tough one, 3-2 to New York. They are now in 3rd place 5½ games out. The Red Sox (us) lost our toughest game of the season. We played the Braves, who are last in the other division. We jumped out to a 5-1 lead. Thy came back until it was 6-5 them. We rallied for 3 runs in the 4th, and I had a chance to win my first game. I walked the first 3 batters on pitches that were strikes. But, the ump didn't agree. They ended up with three runs. We got one more to make it 9-9. Then with 1 out in the 6th, 1 of my friends put down a bumt with a man on third and won, 10-9.
