KOD 13 - Tier A Playoffs - Tigers sweep Halos to meet A's in ALCS

Game 1  - Anaheim Stadium
Morris (5-5, 3.20) vs K.Forsch (9-2, 1.67)
Tigers 7, Angels 0
Jack Morris is perfect through 7 innings, throws three hit shutout, and outduels Cy Young hopeful Ken Forsch.  Leadoff hitter Lou Whitaker went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI's and 1 run scored

Game 2
Wilcox (9-1, 2.37 vs Zahn (6-5, 4.73)
Tigers 9, Angels 0
Milt Wilcox throws shutout and cruises to an easy victory thanks to 7 big runs scored in the top of the 1st.  Tom Brookens went 3 for 4 with 3 RBI's.

Game 3  - Tiger Stadium
Whitt (5-4, 3.80) vs Petry (6-3, 3.91)
Tigers 5, Angels 4
A rusty Tiger bullpen, no work for six days, lets the Angels back in, but the Tigers hold on 5-4 to sweep the series.  Kirk Gibson stole two bases off of the Whitt/Ott battery.  Lou Whitaker again has 2 hits, as did Champ Summers

Editor's note:  The Angels and Tigers have now met four times in the KOD playoffs and their record is even at 2-2.  This is also the first time that Tom has beaten Doug since the latter moved to Israel.  --submitted by T.Davis--
