Game 3:
Jim Colborn vs Dennis Blair
The series goes to Dayton, and the crowd frenzy lasted all but a few innings. The Dragons took a 1-0 lead
in the first, the Hot Rods responded with their run in the top of the second on a Ron Cey HR, then it was off
to the races. The Hot Rods scored 5 in the 5th and 5 in the 6th, enroute to a 17-6 rout of the Dragons,
taking a 2-1 series lead. Doug Rau took one for the team, going the last 4.1 innings giving up 10ER, as Manager
John Turnbull wanted to save his bullpen for the rest of the series. Dave Parker was the star, going 5-6 with
a double, HR and 7 RBI!,
Hot Rods 17 Dragons 6 WP- Blair (1-0) LP- Colborn HR- North (1), Jackson (2), Cey (1), Parker (1).

SPB2-1974 A.L. Division Series #2 GAME 4
Game 4:
Nolan Ryan vs. Catfish Hunter
With both managers going with a 3-man staff for the playoffs, this was a rematch of game 1. A Mike Jorgensen double
in the 4th for the Hot Rods gave them the early lead, but Lee May doubled in two in the 6th, with Brooks Robinson
singling in the third Dragons run, and that would be all Ryan needed, as he went eight strong, giving up four hits
and striking out 11, tying the series at two games apeice.

Jim Colborn vs Dennis Blair
The series returned to the west coast, with a repeat of game three starters. Jim Colborn avenged his bad outing
by going seven strong innings. Tom Murphy contributed two perfect innings for the save, as a Joe Rudi fifth inning
single proved to be the only run the Dragons would need, sending the series to a deciding seventh game.

SPB2-1974 A.L. Division Series #2 GAME 7
Game 7
Nolan Ryan vs. Catfish Hunter
The Dragons were thrilled to be in this position, and arranged their rotation so that Ryan would get games 1, 4, and 7 regardless o
f what may happen for the remainder of the playoffs. The Dragons struck first with two runs in the third on three straight singles
and a ground out. They extended their lead to 4-0 in the 6th on a Jimmy Wynn 2-run tater. The Hot Rods answered in the bottom of
the 6th with two of their own on a Bobby Grich 2-run HR. Tom Murphy was the bullpen anchor for the Dragons, as he recorded the
last five outs to give the Dragons the cinderella series victory over the 117 win Hot Rods, and will meet the South River
Gladiators in the ALCS. Congrats to Mike on a great season.
Dragons 4 Hot Rods 2 WP- Ryan (2-1) LP- Hunter (1-2) SV- Murphy (4) HR- Wynn (1), Grich (1)
Tom Murphy with four saves was named series MVP.
