ALWC - 10/2
County Stadium
C.Hunter vs Sorensen
NYY 5, MIL 3
Both starters got to the 6th. Neither factored in the decision. Up 1-0 after 5 veteran ace Catfish Hunter lost his mojo with 2 outs already in the books. Back to back to back to back singels by Gantner/Yount/Cooper/Thomas and a wild pitch accounted for 3 runs to put the Brewcrew up 3-1. New York answered right back with a 4 spot thanks to errors by Gantner adn Oglivie and a parade of hits. With 2 outs the ever so clutch Chris Chambliss (remember him, Mark Littell?) delivered a 2 run single to put the Bombers up 4-3. The Brewers were dead yet. For the next 3 innings they got runners in scoring position, but the celebrated Yankee pen of Tidrow and Martinez
kept them in line before handing the ball of to closer Sparky Lyle to shut the door. Sparky walked the tightrope in the bottom of the 9th buy issuing back to back leadoff singles to Oglivie and PH Don Money. DH Ed Romero hit into a 6-4-3 DP to move Oglive to 3rd, but there were now 2 outs. Rightfielder Dick Davis was the final out and Lyle hit him with one of his patented sliders that he rolled over to Sandy Alomar at short for the easy 6-3 end of game play. New York moves on and travels to Beantown to face their arch rivals the Red Sox in what is sure to be a firery 5 game set.
