The Detroit Tigers won in dramatic fashion tonight defeating the NY Yankees 7- 6 in 10  innings. The game was tied at 4 after 9 innings of play with all the Tiger runs coming courtesy of the long ball. Willie Horton hit a solo shot and Al Kaline(pictured) hit a 3 run blast in regulation, but after NY scored 2 runs in the top of the 10th off reliever Tom Timmermann, it looked as if the Tigers were going to go down in defeat 6-4. Then, Norm Cash hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 10th to win the game and sent the hometown fans into a wild celebratory frenzy. With the victory Detroit's magic number is down to 1. |
