HENDLEY, GIANTS 1-HIT BRAVES, STILL LOSE
Menke's Solo HR Difference in DH Split
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16 (AP) - Bob Hendley and Bob Shaw combined on a one-hitter,
but that single safety was enough as the Milwaukee Braves earned a doubleheader
split by slipping past the San Francisco Giants, 1-0, in the nightcap at
Candlestick Park. The Giants easily won the opener, blowing out the
Braves, 12-4.
In the second game of the twinbill, Denis Menke drilled his eighteenth home run
of the season, a solo shot just inside the left field foul pole, leading off the
third inning. That was Milwaukee's only hit of the game, but it turned out
to be enough as Tony Cloninger (14-9) fired a complete game four-hit shutout.
Hendley tossed eight innings allowing the only Braves hit, and walked three (one
intentionally) while striking out five. Bob Shaw threw a single perfect
inning of relief after Hendley was lifted for a pinch hitter in the bottom of
the eighth.
While Hendley was stifling the Braves, Cloninger held the Giants at bay.
San Francisco put runners on base in each of the first four innings, but after
Orlando Cepeda singled with one out in the fourth, Cloninger stiffened
considerably, retiring nine consecutive batters before yielding a lead-off base
hit to Jim Ray Hart in the eighth. He then promptly retired the final six
Giants he faced, finishing off his team-best 11th complete game and third
shutout of the season.
