The '82 Brewers let one get away in a 6-5 loss against the Angels on May 28.
The game was tied 2-2 in the top of the sixth inning. That was when the Brewers did something great. Cecil Cooper, Don Money, and Gorman Thomas hit back-to-back-to-back home runs for a 5-2 lead.
With Mike Caldwell on the hill, that should have been enough. But, California came back with three in the bottom of the seventh. Fred Lynn doubled in a run, Tim Foli singled in another. Bob Boone's sac fly against reliever Dwight Bernard tied the game.
Don Baylor hit a one out home run in the bottom of the eighth off Bernard to give the Angels the lead.
Doug Corbett, who pitched a scoreless eighth, worked a scoreless ninth for the win.
