ABCs Win Nail-Biter in 12
Despite the exploits of right fielder Hank Aaron, the Birmingham Black Barons were beaten by the Indianapolis ABCs, 5-4, in 12 innings. Aaron was 3-5 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 3 times. Indianapolis reliever Rob Murphy picked up the win, upping his record to 2-3. Bruce Chen absorbed the loss. The ABCs bumped their record to 47-42 with this latest triumph.

Indianapolis got a knockout punch from Johnny Bench. The catcher hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the 12th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Indianapolis manager Daniel Makonnen. "It's usually not just one thing."
