Oakland Moves On

The 1973 Oakland Athletics closed out the series against the 45 Cubs at Wrigley Field with another comfortable win by the score of 9-6. Billy North continued his very hot hitting and Blue Moon Odom had it all working picking up the win.
Joe Rudi and Reggie Jackson also scattered 8 hits between them and Ray Prim lasted only 3 innings before getting the hook. The Cubbies made one last comeback in a 3 run ninth inning with Cavaretta and Pafko going deep again, but Rollie Fingers in the end closed the door.
