1974 WORLD SERIES: GAME FIVE
DODGERS WIN THE WORLD SERIES
Davey Lopes led off Game Five of the World Series with a homerun off of New York Yankees starter Doc Medich. It would prove to be the only run of the game in an outstanding pitching duel between Medich and Don Sutton of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Medich would allow just two hits the entire game but the Yankees could not string together hits of their own and were unable to score. Sutton went the distance for the Dodgers, fanning 8 while allowing 7 New York hits.
Dodgers shortstop Bill Russell, who went 8-for-18 in the series was named the MVP.
