GAME 7
Gibson struggles during the first 3 innings, allowing 7 base runners, but gets out of each inning before any real damage is done. The skies then open up, stopping the game for 53 minutes!
When the delay ends,
Gibson returns to the mound, but probably shouldn't have. He gives up back to back singles to
Pidge Browne and
Wes Westrum. Both players scored when
Carlos Bernier knocked them in with a 2-out single. A fatigued
Gibson was removed from the game.
The
Indians got 1 run back in the seventh, but the
Dodgers responded right away to keep the lead at 2.
Curt Simmons left the game to the
Dodgers bullpen, who did not disappoint.
Jack Sanford allowed just 1 hit over the final 2 innings to earn the save, as the
Dodgers win another World Series with a 3-1 Win.
