The schedule makers were kind...

The schedule makers were kind to Bike Mike and I as we were able to double up and get both of our series in at one time this week.  

In one of the most uneven matchups in KOD history, the 61 NY Yankees took 2 of 3 games from the lowly 77 Angels.  The Angels failed to score until game 3 with the Yanks getting dominant starts from Bill Stafford (CG 3 hitter to move to 4-0) and Rollie Sheldon (7.2 IP, 7 hits).  LA fights back to steal game 3 by a narrow 3-2 margin.  Wayne Simpson threw a surprise solid 6.2 innings allowing only 2 runs.

 

 

 

 

In the Classic NL matchup, the Phillies got some good starting pitching and backed it up

with some longballs to take 2 of 3 from the Giants.  Steve Carlton has the series off so it was a lot of bullpen innings from Tug McGraw (win in GM 3), Ron Reed and Gene Garber (win in GM 1) to lead the Phils.  Bake McBride, Richie Hebner, and Ted Sizemore each had multiple homers in the series.
