Pittsburgh Federico Escobedo (14-8 4.66) @ Florida- Yasushi Sugihara (14-7 3.65)
We managed to jump out in front on a Hallamore 2 R HR (POTG), but Sugihara gave up a world sereies record four doubles in one inning to allow the Miners to get back and eventually tie the game.
Miner pitching set a record in the 5th. After a leadoff single by Leith Bursey, then Chase and Funicello strikeouts, Pittsburgh pitchers, with the bases full of Tarpon, walked three consecutive hitters to force in 3 runs and turn a 4-4 tie into a 7-4 lead. Sugihara got the win, but it was four scoreless from the Pen that sealed it.
