Walker never got the chance to pitch to Knoll a third time. After catcher Bill Cote reached second on a two-base error by Husky first baseman Joe Ginn, Singleton drove him in to make the margin 5-0, Halas singled and Goetz walked. That was all for Walker and Nick Kokinidis came in with the bases full to pitch to Knoll, who greeted him with a two-run single...
