GAME 5 - "Stretch Assignment" - Giants 16, Royals 8



GAME 5 (10/25)
Saberhagen vs G.Perry
Giants 16, Royals 8

In a repeat of game 1’s matchup we again see Sabes and Perry both come up way short of their pedigree.  Sabes was bombed for 9 runs (4 earned) in 4 innings).  Perry, who was staked to a 7-0 lead began leaking oil in the 4th and was gone after 7 having given up 7 runs (6 earned).  The real story was “Stretch” McCovey who knocked in 7 runs, scored three.  McCovey had 2 homers and a triple in a Herculean effort that helped the Jints stave off elimination.  Backstop Dick Dietz (2-4) was a nice co-star hitting a homer and knocking in 4 himself.
Royals lead series 3-2
