Clarence George Rautzhan (August 20, 1952 – January 9, 2016) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from 1977 to 1979 for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers.[1]
Rautzhan was the winning pitcher in Game 3 of the 1977 NLCS against the Philadelphia Phillies, after the Dodgers came back from a two-out, 5-3 deficit in the top of the 9th inning thanks to key pinch hits by Vic Davalillo and Manny Mota.
Rautzhan also pitched with the Dodgers in the 1977 and 1978 World Series, both times against the New York Yankees.[1]
Rautzhan died of cancer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on January 9, 2016.
