MBL news: Oct. 23 -- World Series Game 5 - Indianapolis 5, St. Louis 2, Indianapolis wins series 4-1

Down 1-0, Indianapolis scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning and the Racers rode it to a 5-2 World Series championship clinching win in Game 5 at the Astrodome (1995).
Big innings were a key to the Racers series win.
They had a seven-run inning in a 9-3 win in Game 3.
A five-run inning in an 8-6 victory in Game 4.
And today's four-run inning to key their win in Game 5.
The primarily left-handed hitting lineup also caused problems for St. Louis.
After Game 2, none of the St. Louis starting pitchers lasted more than five innings -- and two of them didn't even get into the fourth -- leaving the left-handed side of its bullpen overworked.
Not along with the fact, its two best lefties -- Greg Sones and Nick Ruffalo -- struggled to get anyone out after the first two games.
St. Louis grabbed the lead in the top of the first inning against Racers starting pitcher Chung Pei.
Bob Saavedra led off the game with a triple and scored on a Mark Herman single.
That lead vanished when Indy cranked a pair of home runs off Kevin Hrdlicka in the third.
Jared Thomas homered for the second straight game, a solo shot, with one out to tie it.
Danny Patino made it 4-1 with a three-run blast.
Indy made it 5-1 in the bottom of the seventh.
Ozzie Albies led off the inning with a double off Bobby Westerman.
He scored when Patino followed with a single.
Pei (2-0) was strong for six innings, allowing one run on four hits. He struck out five and walked one.
Matt Walizer worked a scoreless seventh.
Racers closer Ramiro Canales gave up a run in the eighth but nothing in the ninth to seal the Racers first Midwest Baseball League championship.
