Cubs Hammer A's in Game 2
The Cubs responded well in game 2 to say the least and hammered the 73 Oakland team by a final score of 14-6.
"We just gave up today" said A's manager Dick Williams, "I cant allow that to happen again, we just quit."
The A's and Catfish Hunter got ambushed and again it was Phil Cavaretta who was the star of the show. Cavaretta hit another long home run and drove in 5 runs making it 8 RBI in the first two games of the series. Don Johnson and Peanuts Lowery also joined the parade with 3 RBI each.
How will Oakland recover from a loss like this heading back to Wrigley Field for game 3.
