SPB2-1973 A.L. Division Series #2 GAME 3

Game 3:  Riverfront Stadium

Vida Blue vs. Paul Splittorff

The only pitcher's duel of the series goes to the Dragons.  Paul Splittorff tossed a 5-hitter 
walking none and striking out only 1.  Vida Blue also went the distance for the HotRods, as their 
bullpenn has not seen the light of day.  Bob Oliver's 2-run HR in the 6th put the Dragons in the 
lead for good.

Hot Rods lead the series 2 games to 1.

SPB2-1973 A.L. Division Series #2 GAME 4

Game 4:

Steve Carlton vs. Jim Colborn

This was a tight game, tied at 2 through the first 5 innings then the wheels fell off for the home 
Dragons.  Rte.66 scored 11 of their 13 runs in the last 4 frames for the convincing 13-2 win.  Lefty 
went 9, making the bullpen wonder if they should even report to the ballpark tomorrow!  Bobby Murcer 
went 4-5 with 5RBIs, and George Scott went 4-5 as well.

Hot Rods lead series 3 games to 1

SPB2-1973 A.L. Division Series #2 GAME 5

Game 5:

Jim Palmer vs. Nolan Ryan

Nolan Ryan was cruising early, striking out 7 thourgh the first 3 innings.  The Hot Rods took the lead in the 
4th and never looked back, on the heels of yet ANOTHER complete game, yielding one earned run.  I think this 
is the first time that I can remember that a team won a playoff series without using a relief pitcher. Reggie 
Jackson went 3-5 with his 2nd HR of the series, and Thurman munson chipped in 4 hits.  

Congratulations to the Hot Rods on an impressive series win.  
They will face the winner of the Angels/Gladiators series.
