1991 – Ken Caminiti and Charlie Hayes trade five-RBI nights from the third base spot and Al Osuna is handed a two-run lead in the bottom of the tenth, 10-8. But he can’t hold it as the Phillies score three to win it, 11-10. Rafael Ramirez has four hits in a losing effort.
Jim Eppard of the Salinas Spurs of the California League plays all nine positions as the Spurs defeat the San Bernardino Spirit, 2 – 1. Eppard gets credit for the win by pitching a scoreless 5th inning. The former California Angels OF becomes one of the few left-handers to play every position in a single game.
Cincinnati’s Tom Browning defeats Montreal’s Dennis Martinez, 11 – 3, in the first matchup of perfect game hurlers in 25 years. Sandy Koufax and Jim Bunning were the last such pair to meet on October 2, 1966.
