Jim had 4 hits over Included in his hits was a 2-run 300 foot: homer.'... Marvin Osmar's first homer of the season was a clutch blow in the lst inning. which drove in '3 runs to erase an early Giant lead...'...dim- Moro was robbed of another domer, in the 2nd-game on a catch by Allard who reached over the centrefield fence at the 330 ft. mark.to grab the ball......
