Super Series Game 5 - "Hard to Reed"

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
