A WILD OPENER GOES TO OAKLAND
Pitching was the fartherst strong point for either team today as the A's took game 1 of the five game series against the 45 Cubbies 10-9.
Phil Caverretta hit a 450 foot three run homer in the top of the 8th to give the home side a 2 run lead but the pesky A's came back in the bottom of the inning off of Hy Vandenburg and took the lead again with a 3 run inning.
Overall this game had it all, but especially the 5 errors by the Cubs really cost them on this day, short stop Roy Hughes causing two of them and setting up big innings earlier in the game for the home team. The Cubs will need to play fundamental baseball if they are to compete in this series.
Deron Johnson for the A's drove in two including the winning run in the bottom of the 8th inning.
