A's On Easy Street in Game 3 Win
The 1973 Oakland A's came together well after their manager called them out in game 2. Returning to Wrigley Field with the series tied the A's rallied behind Vida Blue and took game three 10-4.
Billy North stepped up with a 4-5 perfromance including a long one in the 6 run 5th inning that cracked the game wide open. Blue strick out 7 and was never in real trouble going into the 9th inning before giving way to Rollie Fingers.
