Gwynn Helps LA Break Through, Koufax 1st to 6 Wins

Thanks to a sacrifice fly, the Chicago Docs carried a 1-0 lead into the 6th inning against the Los Angeles Dynamos. Turkey Stearnes drove in Tony Gwynn with an RBI single against Dwight Gooden to tie the game. In the 7th, with the bases loaded and two outs, Gwynn drove a ball into the corner to clear the bases and give LA a 4-1 lead. Koufax allowed just 5 hits and struck out 9 in 8 innings before turning it over to Lee Smith, who struck out the side in the 9th for his 5th save. Gooden allowed 4 runs on 9 hits and struck out 8 in the loss for the Docs. The win improved the Dynamos to 13-11, and they are just one game behind Houston for the National League lead. Koufax is responsible for 6 of those 13 wins, and now leads the Maelstrom.
