Bagwell Walks it Off in Extras in Final Game

Greg Maddux allowed just 4 hits in 7 innings, but one of those hits was a 2-run homer by Hank Aaron. It was Aaron’s 14th homer of the season, tying him with LA’s Eddie Mathews for 2nd place in the National League. The Dynamos finally got to Bob Gibson in the 8th. Gibson had held the Dynamos to 1 run until then, but a double, single, and triple knotted the score at 3-3. Relievers Trevor Hoffman and Lee Smith each pitched 3 scoreless innings of 1-hit ball. But in the 11th, Goose Gossage hung the very 1st pitch to Jeff Bagwell, who took it deep to win it 4-3 for the Hoots. LA fell to 27-27, while Houston pulled to within a game to close out the season.
