1970 Royals Replay


6-19 Min- Drago was flawless into 8th then all hell broke loose-he got tired -Bobby Floyd kiled him twice on d and Ken Wrong did nothing to stop the destruction- 0-0 became 8-0
In bottom Royals begin a ridiulous and yet legit comeback with solid hits- in the 9th it continued vs nasty Tom Hall and Keough/Pinellia has tying runs in scoring position vs Perranoski but can't get the 1 hit they need - story of difference in 1970 vs 1969-
Lemon 1-6 despite upgrades
