The Chicago Docs took advantage of poor play by the Los Angeles Dynamos to take 2 of 3 games in the series. LA leftfielder Frank Robinson misjudged a flyball in the first, setting up two unearned runs for the Docs against Greg Maddux. A Willie Mays homer in the bottom of the inning off Chicago starter Rick Reuschel would keep them in it, and Johnny Mize’s bases-clearing double in the 6th put the Dynamos up 5-4. Los Angeles brought in Trevor Hoffman to keep the lead in the 8th, but Hoffman loaded the bases with two outs. Chicago’s Pete Rose hit a grounder down the line that Eddie Mathews couldn’t get a glove on, plating two and putting the Docs up 6-5. Kent Tekulve and Billy Wagner pitched a perfect 8th and 9th to give the Docs the win. Chicago improves to 6-11, while the Dynamos fall to 7-10.
