The old saying in major sports , is that “Defense wins Championships” .. well there was plenty of that in this game ! ( Offense  was so remiss , there were truthfully , more hits in the original “Godfather” movie ).   After three innings, the score was 7-4 in favor of the Yankees .  That’s when the defenses took over .  KFC only scored 1 more run in the last 6 innings .  The Yankees only scored 3 more runs in the same timeframe .  The final result was Yankees 10 , KFC 5 .  Great defensive plays for the victorious Yankees were made by their outfielders , Guzman - Debroeck- Guttenberger , and the infield by Alumbaugh - Hurn - Guzzo - Jacobsen .  Larry Book was hurling a gem on the mound .   KFC had their  share of defensive  gems , also ,  thanks to Essenmacher &  Quinones,  and precision pitching by Wells .
