June 2-4, 1972, at San Francisco

The Brewers travel west to the Bay area to take on the San Francisco Velocity at Bank of the West Ballpark. This is the largest park in the MGL, seating 52,800 and is also the best pitcher's park in the league.

Brewers hitters didn't find it too unfriendly in their first game there, however, as the team won 7-1. Chad Brown (.316/.338/.411) led the way by going 5 for 5, scoring 2 runs, and hitting his 7th double of 1972. Jamison Bash (.226/.274/.405) and Joe McPhillips (.257/.333/.514) each contributed HR's to the cause, Bash's 8th and McPhillips' 4th. Cheol-han Lee got the win, improving to 7-1 with a 1.92 ERA.

Game 2 was nearly the same story with the Brewers prevailing 5-1. Steve Green got the win, improving to 3-4 with a 3.50 ERA. Green threw 7 innings, allowing the 1 run on just 4 hits while striking out 6 and walking 3. Chad Brown (.320/.342/.412) again paced the attack with a 2 for 4 game.

In a much tighter contest, the Brewers prevailed again in the final game of the series, 3-2. Veteran lefty Daniel Torres, perhaps having heard the rumors of his perceived decline, pitched with a purpose, working 7 innings while giving up 2 runs on 5 hits, striking out 6 and walking not a soul. He improves to 3-4 with a 3.83 ERA. Rookie Joe McPhillips (.266/.339/.514) continues to impress and went 2 for 4 in the win. This is the first series sweep for the Brewers this year in a series of more than 2 games and gives them a current winning streak of 5 games. It helps that they are finally facing some of the bottom feeders of the MGL, but the team is hopeful that this means they have finally turned the corner after a miserable month of May.
The Brewers move into 4th place, 6 1/2 games behind Charlotte and 3 games over .500.
