Dodgers cruise in Game 5


In the end when someone thinks of the 88 Dodgers it comes back to Orel Hershiser. Although the star pitcher wasnt incredible today, he was steady enough to help the Dodgers acheive their goal and win comfortably against the 03 Marlins.

A six run 2nd inning started by a 3 run home run by Alfredo Griffin started the effort and put Josh Beckett in hot water, the star right hander was no where near his best and would not get out of the second inning. Later Mike Sciocia tugged around the bases for a two run triple, Dodger Stadium was all light blue today as the atmosphere and win was impressive.
