PHILLIES LEAD SERIES 2-1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mickey Morandini became the unlikeliest of heroes in Philadelphia as his late inning herocis gave the home Phillies a dramtic win and the series lead.
After a very hard fought battle that saw hits flying from both team's hitters the Pirates controlled a 4-3 advantage heading into the bottom of the ninth. George Grantham hit his second home run of the series with a man on off Danny Jackson in the fifth inning taking advantage of the lefty vs righty advantage.
In the ninth Morandini lined a shot just over the right field wall to lead off the inning off of Red Oldham. The ball just cleared the wall and tied the game. Still the scrappy second baseman wasnt done, he came up to the plate in the bottom of the tenth after Mckechnie decided to walk Lenny Dyskstra with two out and face Morandini with the bases loaded. Mickey slapped a pitch into right field that plated the winning run and left the Phillie fans in hysteria.
It was the kind of win that could carry through the rest of the series. Heroes do appear out of nowhere sometimes when the pressure is on.
