Game 5- The
Phillies decide to go with lefty Jim Kaat in Game 5 while Oakland gets Stewart
back on the mound. Both pitchers are
very good with Oakland only getting a solo HR from Dave Henderson in the 5th
to take a 1-0 lead. In the 6th Philly
gets a ledoff triple from Bake Mcbride.
Oakland brings the infield in and Stewart strikes out Gary Maddox for
the first out. Greg Luzinski steps up
with the infield still in. He hits a
slow roller to shortstop. Weiss looks
back the runner and goes to first, but Mcbride breaks for home and gets in
before the tag! Ron Reed comes on to
pitch for the Phillies and shuts down Oakland so the score is 1-1 into extra
innings. In the top of the 10th
Larry Bowa hits a one out triple off Dennis Eckersley. Oakland brings the infield in again but Tim
Mcarver lifts one deep to center for the go-ahead run. Reed pitches his 4th inning in the
bottom of the 10th and retires Oakland in order. Philly
leads 3-2
