FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » April 10, 1980: Minnesota outlasts Oakland, 9–7, in 12 innings.

Sofield has three hits and three runs in the game but will end his ML career in 1981 with a .207 average. He'll switch to football and become the starting quarterback for the University of South Carolina in 1983.
