It was the worst of games...
Game #497 - Oakland A's, 17 @ Detroit Tigers, 4
I've mentioned it before, but blowouts are not fun to play in Statis Pro. Once you have a ten run lead you're pretty much begging for outs from the Fast Action Cards so you can move to data entry on the ol' Excel stat sheets. This game was 7-1 heading into the eighth when Oakland posted TEN RUNS on the inning. It took three pitchers to record three outs. That's not good.
When the game was still somewhat close Mike Heath was a big contributor. He walked in the second and scored on a Tony Phillips home run. In the fourth he added his own two-run jack and the A's would never let up in this one.
Winning Pitcher - Curt Young
Losing Pitcher - Dan Petry
Player of the Game - Mike Heath
Hall of Famers in this Game - Rickey Henderson, Joe Morgan
Game #498 - Texas Rangers, 1 @ Kansas City Royals, 3
Now this is the kind of Statis Pro game that is a lot of fun! Starters Frank Tanana and Mark Gubicza were posting goose eggs through four innings. But in the top of the fifth Marv Foley went deep for a solo homer. That was all of the offense until the bottom of the eighth. Greg Pryor, John Wathan, and Willie Wilson all singled to load the bases. Daryl Motley then walked to tie the game! With one out and the bases still loaded, Steve "bye-bye" Balboni roped a two-run double for the game winning RBIs!
Winning Pitcher - Dan Quisenberry
