Super Series Game 7 - "Steinbach...Of Weiss and Men"

Game 7- Game 7, this is what it is all about.  The A’s would send Welch back to the mound while Philly would go with Carlton on short rest.  Philly would strike first this time with a sac fly and a Mcbride RBI single to go up 2-0 after two.  Oakland would get to Carlton in the 3^rd  when Rickey goes deep for a solo shot.  The score remain 2-1 until the 6^th inning when Dave Henderson hits a two-out triple and Mcgwire comes to the plate.  Mark lines a single into left and the game is tied!  The bullpens are amazing from there as we go 7 more innings with no scoring!!  The top of the 14^th and both teams are running out of bodies.  Coach Daly brings in Warren Brusstar to pitch the 14^th.  Terry Steinbach who hit .157 in 178 AB this season steps up and laces a double off the left field wall. There is no one left on the Oakland bench to run for the lead footed Steinbach as Walt Weiss steps to the plate.  Weiss hits a single right up the middle and around comes Steinbach.  The play at the plate and he is SAFE!  3-2 Oakland.  Philly gets out of the inning and has one more chance in the bottom of the 14^th.  Coach Sexton goes to his bullpen where there is very little left.  Little used Steve Chitren will get the call with Eckersley gone wy back in the 10^th.  Chitren starts it off by striking out Ted Sizemore.  Tom Hutton comes up and singles into left. Mcbride steps to the plate and he smashes a double into right center.  Hutton is flying around 3^rd as the throw comes to the plate, Steinbach lays down the tag….and he is………OUT!!!!   Mcbride moves to third on the play but the Phillies are down to their last out.  Garry Maddox just needs a base hit to keep this one going.  Chitren winds up and Maddox hits it sharply to Weiss at short.  He throws to Mcgwire and the A’s are Super Series Champions!!!!!!!  Oakland Wins 4-3

Great series and a lot of fun to play.  Excellent job by Peter Daly.
