Aces Lose, 11-4, at Municipal Stadium
The Philadelphia Athletics put the giddy home crowd in an even more jubilant mood after beating the Atlantic City Aces in the season opener at Municipal Stadium. Third Baseman Steve Garvey won plaudits for Philadelphia. He was 2 for 4 with a triple and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4.

The Athletics got a big hit from catcher Ed Kirkpatrick. In the bottom of the sixth, Kirkpatrick pounded a bases-clearing double to right. His 1st double of the season put the Athletics ahead, 6-2.

Kirkpatrick told a Philadelphia Times reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
