The Padres added another run in the inning as Sixto Lezcano knocked in Gene Richards with a single. Gary Lucas came on in the ninth and immediately worked himself into a jam. Both Watson and Lee singled and was followed by a sacrifice bunt. Dangerous Doug Rader was the next hitter but Lucas came through with a clutch strikeout. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs and Cliff Johnson was the batter. Lucas got Johnson looking a fastball on the inside part of the plate for a game ending called third strike.
