Mike Norris was brilliant. Complete game, 6 hitter, with only a Frank Thomas solo shot in the ninth to mar the shutout. Taint's 1980 A's roll over the Warren Spahn led 1961 Braves, 6-1 . Spahn was let down by his defense as they commited 3 errors in the field that led to two unearned runs. Rickey Henderson was 3 for 5 with a double and stolen base to lead the A's. Jeff Newman had a clutch, bases loaded pinch hit single with the sacks jammed in the top of the 7th and Mario Guerrero had two hits.
