Clemens’ Arm and Grich’s Bat Have Rockets 1 Win Away

Bobby Grich had just 32 at-bats in the regular season, mostly against left-handed starters. With an abundance of left-handed pitching for the St. Louis Wizards, Grich knew that he would be called on to step up, and he’s done just that. Batting in the #9 spot, Grich hit a 3-run homerun in the 2nd inning that made the home crowd at Tiger Stadium go wild. Grich hit just .250 on the season and hadn’t hit a homer all year until this night. Overall, he finished 2 for 4 and is hitting .455 in the Series. Meanwhile, Roger Clemens allowed just 5 hits and a 1st inning run in 7 innings to put the Detroit Rockets up 3-1 and one win away from a World Championship. St. Louis had taken last night’s game to avoid a potential sweep. Once again, Carl Hubbell picked up the loss, allowing 6 runs in 7 innings as they Wizards lost 6-2. Detroit will have a chance in Game 5 to win it all at home. If not, the Series will move back to St. Louis for Game 6 and 7.
