1978 Kinsella Classic Series, Game 5

The good news for the Denver Brewers is that the series now shifts back to the mile high city for the rest of the way.
The bad news is that they have no room for error, needing to win the final two games in order to retain their crown.

The great Curtis Horah's 2-out 6th inning Grand Slam broke the 2-2 tie in this one and provided the Dawgs with the margin of victory. Not a great moment for Sadahige Kawasaki who was charged with 6 runs on 11 hits over 6 innings pitched. Ben Flynn pitched great once again, but the offense couldn't get anything going against starter Dan Bottom and relievers John Tegel and Malcolm Gayles after the 2nd inning. El Paso team captain Trevor Leach continued his assault on Brewers pitching and former Brewer Spencer Wilson also continues to have a strong series.
Kirk Patnode is hitting .571 in the series having gone 2 for 3 in this one and scoring one of the Brewers two runs. And although he didn't pitch a good game, Kawasaki did get the big 2-out hit, a double, that drove in both of the Brewers runs.
