In a series where it's gone W-L-W-L-W, could we break that pattern? No, no we couldn't. There were a total of 16 hits in the 3-1 Philadelphia win, but 15 were singles. It was a match of jabs and no knockdown, but it's a win for Philly and we will go to the 7th game.
Tom Candiotti allowed 7 singles and walked 5, but we could only scratch across an unearned run as Araujo pitched well, but gave up 3 of the 5 hits allowed to consecutive batters and we had no fight back.
No matter who wins, they are going to Boston as 38 year old Hooton ran out of gas allowing 6 runs in less than 3 innings in a series clinching 9-3 Boston win. Rich Murray, Ozzie Smith and Jerome Walton each knocked in 2 runs and Ellis Burks was named series MVP in a losing cause, hitting .462 with 2 HR's.
