ALCS Game 6 - Miracle Season For Baltimore Comes To End. Oakland Moves On To Face Pittsburgh In World Series

 GAME 6:

It was a rematch of game 2...Bob Welch vs. Dave Johnson. This time it was Oakland's turn to get off to a quick start on Jose Canseco's 2-run, 1st inning homerun. Steve Finley's homerun in the 3rd cut the lead in half. In the 5th, Harold Baines pushed the lead back to 2 with an RBI single, then Mark McGwire gave them a lot of breathing room with a long 3-run shot to left center. In the 8th, Dave Henderson's pinch hit RBI double scored another, then Carney Lansford really put the game away with a 3-run homer of his own. Welch held the Orioles to 1 run over 6+ innings, and Rick Honeycutt and Gene Nelson finished up to send Oakland to the World Series.

Oakland 10  Baltimore 1

W: Welch  L: Johnson

It was a very interesting series in which the home team won only once. Jose Canseco was named the series MVP, hitting .318 with 3 HRs, 5 runs, and 7 RBI. Mark McGwire only hit .208, but he made his hits count with 3 HRs and 6 RBI. Other good performances were turned in by Walt Weiss (.333), Terry Steinbach (.318), and Rickey Henderson (.280, .400 OBP, HR, 5 SB). Cal Ripken Jr. led the way for Baltimore (.333, 3 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI), assisted by Randy Milligan (2 HR, 5 RBI), Steve Finley (.368), Joe Orsulak (.348, 2 2B, 3B, HR, 4 runs), and Billy Ripken (.333). On the pitching side, Dave Stewart had a 1.15 ERA over 15+ innings, but managed to lose 1 of his 2 starts. Bob Welch won both of his starts with a 2.77 ERA. For Baltimore, Ben McDonald had 1 great start, and Pete Harnisch and Bob Milacki didn't pitch too badly. The big difference was the bullpens. Oakland's pen allowed only 6 his and 2 walks over 13 scoreless innings. For Baltimore, Gregg Olson threw 4 scoreless innings, but the rest of the bullpen allowed 13 hits and 10 runs over 10 2/3 innings.

ALCS GAME 5 - Never Say Die Orioles Squeak Past Athletics. Baltimore Survives To Play Another Day

 GAME 5

In a rematch of the game 1 pitching matchup, Cal Ripken Jr. made sure that Dave Stewart wouldn't shut them out again when he launched a 2-run homerun in the 1st. Harold Baines got 1 of those back in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single, and Jose Canseco tied the game with a run-scoring double in the 3rd. And that's the way things stayed through 7. Then Joe Orsulak stunned the home crowd when he pulled one down the right field line for a go-ahead homerun. Curt Schilling pitched a scoreless 8th, and Gregg Olson pitched a 1-2-3 9th for another save. Back to Baltimore we go!

ALCS Game 4 - Oakland Outlasts Baltimore In Extra Frames. A's Magic Number Now 1

 GAME 4

Baltimore's game 3 win got them back in the series, and they jumped out to a quick lead again in this one. In the 2nd, Randy Milligan lined a 2-run homer, and the Orioles scratched out a 3rd run on Craig Worthington's RBI single. Mark McGwire lined a 2-run shot of his own in the bottom of the inning to close the gap to one run. Oakland tied it in the 5th on Willie Randolph's RBI single. Bob Milacki and Mike Moore each allowed 3 runs over 6 innings before turning the game over to the bullpens. Baltimore put runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out in the 7th, but a double play killed the rally. In the bottom of the inning, the A's had runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. With the infield in, McGwire was going on contact and was thrown out at the plate. Randolph crushed one to deep center, but it died on the warning track to end the threat. In the 8th, Harold Baines struck out with runners on 1st and 3rd, then Rickey Henderson got thrown out trying to steal home to kill another threat. In the 9th, Oakland loaded the bases with nobody out, but runners were forced at the plate on consecutive plays, the second of which was the front end of an inning-ending double play. In the 10th, Joe Price entered the game, causing Dave Henderson to pinch hit for Willie McGee. Henderson jumped on a 2-2 pitch for a walk-off homer and a commanding 3-1 series lead.

ALCS Game 3 - Baltimore Battles Back. Drop A's 7-5

 GAME 3:

With their backs to the wall, after dropping the first 2 games at home, the Orioles came out swinging. In the 1st, Randy Milligan hit an Earl Weaver special for a quick 3-0 lead. They continued to feast on Scott Sanderson in the 2nd. With 2 out, Joe Osulak singled in a run, Billy Ripken doubled in another, and Cal Ripken Jr. crushed a 412 foot bomb to dead center to make it 7-0. Meanwhile, Oakland couldn't touch Ben McDonald, as he shut them out on 5 hits for 7 innings. Sanderson settled down after the disastrous start, and didn't allow any more runs before finally exiting in the 8th. Jose Bautista came on to start the bottom of the 8th, and the A's offense finally woke up. Bautista allowed a leadoff single, then quickly retired the next 2 batters. Then the wheels fell off. Bautista, John Mitchell, Curt Schilling, and Joe Price proceeded to combine to allow 4 singles and 2 walks, and suddenly the go-ahead run was coming to the plate...Jose Canseco. That's where the Cinderella comeback ended. Price struck him out, and Gregg Olson pitched a 1-2-3 9th for the save.
