Three interleague home-and-home series are next, against Chicago, St. Louis, and Montreal.
Game 85: Bill Lee isn't in peak form, but he doesn't need to be in this one. Three Riders drive in at least three runs apiece as the Goats fall, 10-3. Bill Robinson has two home runs and four RBI. Lee improves to 13-3.
Game 86: Ramon Hernandez blows a 3-1 lead in the ninth inning, allowing three runs. Milwaukee ties it in the bottom half on Ted Sizemore's double, but the Goats destroy Dave LaRoche and Skip Lockwood in the 11th, plating six runs, and win it 10-4. Milwaukee's winning streak ends at 13.
Game 87: Fred Norman wins his 14th game, with a little help from Bill Robinson, who clubs his 16th home run and drives home three. Ramon Hernandez throws a scoreless ninth for his 30th save as the Riders win 8-5.
Game 88: Leadoff man Ted Sizemore is 5-5, and #2 batter Larry Biittner adds three more hits, but the rest of the Rider lineup is missing in action, collecting only three additional hits (all singles). Tommy John allows 10 hits in only four innings and the Pi even things up with a 4-3 win.
Game 89: Montreal gets a complete game from Andy Messersmith while Charlie Spikes' error leads to two unearned Lyncher runs; Bill Lee takes the loss as Milwaukee drops a 4-2 decision.
Game 90: Ted Sizemore's seventh-inning double erases a 3-2 deficit, and the Riders put things away with a six-run eighth inning as they earn a split with Montreal, winning 10-3. Elias Sosa gets the win, his sixth of the season.
Milwaukee hosts Chicago (61-29) next, facing 10-0 Pat Dobson in Game 2.

Game 91: In the opener of a series that could help determine home field advantage in the playoffs, "Bad" Fred Norman shows up for the first inning, allowing a three-run Pedro Garcia home run and four runs total. The Riders can never quite catch up and fall 5-4 with Dobson waiting on the mound for tomorrow.
Game 92: Milwaukee holds Dobson without a win, but eventually succumbs to the White Sox in 13 innings as Richie Hebner's error opens the floodgates for a seven-run inning. Chicago wins 9-2.
Game 93: Bill Lee throws seven scoreless innings to outduel Juan Marichal and the Riders salvage the finale of this three-game series, beating the White Sox 3-0. Nate Colbert hits a two-run home run, his 12th of the season.
The league's top team, the New York Mammoths (71-22) comes to Milwaukee next.

Game 94: Bill Robinson's two run home run ties the score in the eighth, and Richie Hebner's bases-loaded single in the ninth wins it as the Riders defeat New York 6-5 in the opener. Jon Matlack strikes out 10 in five innings but also allows three runs.
Game 95: Three Riders have two hits each; unfortunately those are the only Riders who get any hits at all. Bill Greif throws seven shutout innings and the Mammoths even the series with a 2-0 win. Fred Norman takes the loss.
Game 96: Tommy John is brilliant, winning his 11th game, and the Riders take the series from New York with a 4-1 win.
After splitting six games with the other division leaders, the Riders see an ease up in the schedule as they travel to Boston to face the 18-78 Stranglers.

Game 100: Mike Lum's two-run single in the sixth is all the offense Milwaukee can muster, but Tommy John makes sure it's enough. The Riders win, 2-1 and John improves to 12-5 with eight innings.
Game 101: Fred Norman allows an early two-run double to Dave Roberts, but the Riders battle back to tie the game and eventually win it in the 10th on Bill Robinson's two-run homer.
Game 102: After eight shutout innings by Bill Lee, Mickey Stanley leads off the ninth with a home run off Ramon Hernandez, his seventh blown save of the season. However, the Riders win for the second straight day with a two-run 10th inning home run, this time off the bat of Charlie Spikes.
Milwaukee heads to Baltimore to face the IronBirds.

Game 103: Ted Sizemore and Larry Hisle have three hits each to pace an 18-hit Rider attack that helps Jon Matlack win his 13th game despite his 6 IP, 6 ER line. Ron Reed doesn't help much, allowing all three batters he faces to score, but Milwaukee holds on for a 13-9 win.
Game 104: Skip Lockwood, given another start, pitches seven innings, doubles, and scores the eventual winning run as the Riders beat Baltimore 7-2. Lockwood improves to 3-1. Thurman Munson hits a three-run double in the ninth to provide some insurance.
Game 105: This game is scoreless through eight innings as Tommy John and Dave McNally match pitch for pitch. Larry Biittner doubles home a run in the top of the ninth to give Milwaukee the lead, but Ramon Hernandez blows another save, allowing two singles and a sacrifice fly. Larry Hisle leads off the 10th with a home run but Hernandez fails again in the bottom half, loading the bases with one out before giving way to Elias Sosa. Garry Maddox greets Sosa with a single and the IronBirds win, 3-2. Milwaukee's winning streak ends at nine games.
