Super Series Game 1 - "Ritz Carlton"

Game 1-  The ’77 Phillies start LH Ace Steve Carlton at home against Dave Stewart for the ’90 A’s.  Oakland gets to Carlton early as Rickey Henderson doubles down the 3^rd base line and scores on a Carney Lansford RBI single in the top of the 1^st.  Oakland gets another run on a Lansford Sac Fly in the 3^rd to lead 2-0.  Philly cuts the lead in half with a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the inning.  It remained 2-1 Oakland until the bottom of the 5^th when Philly explodes for 3 runs.  Philly adds one more in the 6^th and Carlton cruises the rest of the way.  Philly leads 1-0
