1973 WPK World Series, Game 5

The L.A. Spinners picked up a huge extra inning walk-off win in Game 5 of the World Series to take a 3 games to 2 lead.

Although they only need 1 more win to collect their first Championship Trophy, they will need to get that win on the road as the series shifts back to Jacksonville for the final 2 games, if 7 games are needed.

Young L.A. shortstop Jeremy Jones had a huge game, hitting a solo homer in the 5th inning to give L.A. their first run and another in the 9th to send the game into extra innings.

The game proved costly to both teams, also, as L.A. loses their superstar third baseman Jesus Hernandez, who suffered a strained back while running the bases and won't be back during this series. Jacksonville saw their center fielder Greg Koenig limp off the field after being injured in a base path collision. While an official diagnosis has not yet been revealed, all indications are that Koenig will also miss the rest of the series.
