In a back and forth series, we've alternated losses and wins and fly back to New York for a deciding game 5 tied at 2.
The Yanks took game 1 as game 5-to-be starter Robert Elliott combined with Blue Moon Odom to out duel Gerald Lewis 2-1.
We bounced back with a 5-2 win. The Yankees were up 2-0 into the 6th when Jim Wynn hit a 2-run home run to jump start the team to the win.
In game 3, Danny Delonzo gave up just 1 run and Thurmon Munson hit a 2-run HR and Roy White added 2 more RBI in an easy 6-1 win.
With our back against the wall, 6 different players knocked in runs in a 7-4 win. Larry Gura had a no hitter going into the 7th, but after 6 men reached, John Hiller came in with 2 1/3 great innings to even things up.
Over in the NL, kind of the same situation. Alternating wins and losses have the Giants and Cards tied at 2. Benny Farley, the best pitcher in the game, threw a 2 hitter and the Cards went up 1-0 with a 1-0 win.
The Giants knocked around Steve Carlton for 3 HR's in a 16-1 cakewalk to tie it up at 1.
Don Kissinger and Randy Bass (Who is a stud) each knocked in 3 runs as the Cardinals beat Ed Halicki and the Giants 12-3 to go within 1 game of the World Series.
But, like their Southern California neighbors, the Giants didn't roll over and took a nail-biter 6-5 in 10 innings as Jack Hiatt walked with the bases loaded to send this back to St Louis.
Since Farley is going in game 7 for the Cards, I'll take them.
Giants/Cards and Yankees/Los Angeles, how happy would the networks be?
