Super Series Game 6 - "Big Mac Attack"

Game 6-  Back to Philly for Game 6, Oakland with their backs against the wall.  Sanderson vs.
Christenson is the pitching matchup.
  Oakland strikes first with a Mark Mcgwire solo HR in the 2nd to lead 1-0.  They add another with a sacrifice fly in the top of the 4th  but Philly matches it when Mike Schmidt goes deep in the bottom of the inning.  Bob Boone hits a pinch hit 2 run HR in the bottom of the 5th to put Philly up 3-2 and things are looking grim for the A’s.  Oakland comes right back in the 6th to tie the game on a Mike Gallego suicide squeeze.  It would remain tied into the 8th when Mcgwire leads off the inning with his 2nd HR of the game to give Oakland a 1 run lead. The great Oakland bullpen would take over from there in the form of Gene Nelson with a clean 8th and Eckersley with a 1-2-3 9th.  Series Tied 3-3
