Lee May ripped 3 homeruns as the Cincinnati Reds bested the San Francisco


Giants 11 to 4 at Candlestick Park.


 


May was a one-man wrecking crew.  He smacked a single in the 1st inning,


cracked a solo homerun in the 6th inning, cleared the bases with a Grand Slam


homerun in the 7th inning and clubbed a two-run home run in the 9th inning.


Cincinnati had 12 hits for the afternoon while San Francisco had 9.  


 


The winning pitcher was Jim Merritt(7-3) who allowed 4 runs in 7 and 1/3


innings. Gaylord Perry(7-7) took the loss.  Cincinnati scored big getting 8


runs off him in 6 and 2/3 innings.  


 


'I had a big day, but there's a lot of credit to go around' May said.  'We


played well together as a team.'
