KOD 13 - Tier B World Series - Game 5: "Darwinism"

GAME 5 - Arlington Stadium
Steve Rogers vs Danny Darwin
Rangers 3, Expos 2

In a re-match of game 1 starters a struggling Steve Rogers gutted his way through 7 innings in a tight pitcher's duel with Danny Darwin.  With the score tied at 1-1 the Expos gave Rogers a 1 run lead when "Kid" Carter singled home "Hawk" Dawson in the top of the 7th.  Rogers took the hill in the 7th and got Wills to ground out sharply to short.  Oliver followed that with a single and Rivers worked out a rare walk to put runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out.  Buddy Bell singled to right to score Oliver and tie the game at 2-2.  Rogers, who threw 142 pitches on the day, remained on hill and got the next 3 batters out.  Unfortunately for Rogers Rivers was able to score on the first out of the inning, a Jim Sundberg grounder to second.  That run made it 3-2 Texas.  Danny Darwin, who was keeping the Expos bats at bay, gave up a 1 out single to Raines in the top of the 8th.  The speedy rookie immediately took off for second, but was nailed by Sundberg for out number 2.  That out would be Montreal's last gasp for air as the 'Spos went weakly in the top of the 9th as Darwin went the distance.
Rangers lead series 3-2
