Seaver only gave up 4 hits, but three runs over 8 innings. Forsch pitched a 3-hit complete game shutout. We are down 1-0.
HISTORY IS MADE! Jerry Koosman pitches only the second postseason no-hitter in baseball history to win game two for the Mets 3-0! Jerry walked three and struck out 8, going all the way. Koosman had an RBI single as well.
We are tied 1-1.
Home runs by Joe Pepitone (RIP !) and Jim Wynn propel Houston to a 5-1 game 3 win.
In game 4, Wynn and Joe Morgan who ends up as series MVP, break open a 2-2 tie in the sixth against Tom Seaver and the Astros win the NL pennant 3 games to one.
In the AL, the first four games ended up 4-3 going Baltimore, Oakland, Oakland, Baltimore and then in the deciding game 5 the Orioles won 1-0 as Woody Fryman outpitched Vida Blue and series MVP catcher Chuck Hinton got three hits including the winning RBI.
So: Orioles versus Astros in the 1971 World Series.
