Game 1 - Tiger Stadium
Fritz Peterson vs Hank Aguire
The series got off to a sloppy start with the Tigers and Yanks committing 2
errors apiece. Detroit picked up where they left off from
the first 2 rounds as their offense continued to blast opposing
pitchers, this time to the tune of 18 hits, with 2 HR's by Norm Cash, who
has been on fire throughout tourney. Defensive whiz Ray Oyler went 4-5,
including 2 doubles and a triple. Detroit starter Hank Aguirre pitched 6
ok innings for the win. Yankee pitcher Fritz Peterson, who gave up 7 runs
in 5 innings, denied he was distracted by Mike Kekich's wife, saying "I have no
idea what you are talking about, I actually had my eye on that Australian
bikini model in row 1". Detroit 13-2
Tigers lead series 1-0
