Flushing Rats vs. Cleveland Spiders
SPB1-1972 WS GAME 1
The first game pit the teams’ two aces, Gaylord Perry, and Mickey Lolich against each other,
and it became quickly clear that the magic had completely gone out of 25-game winner Lolich’s
arm. Although he got out of the first inning with two strikeouts, Tony Perez greeted him rudely
in the second inning with a screaming triple down the left field line. Dennis Menke parked an
0-2 pitch into the center field bleachers, and the race was on. Errors by Torre and Morales set
up the Rats’ 3rd run. Meanwhile, Perry didn’t even need his Vaseline, squeaking out of two bases
loaded situations, in the 2nd and 4th, without allowing any runs to score. Lolich settled down,
and the middle innings were uneventful, though Perry kept the Spiders batters flailing, striking
out 10. The Rats tacked on an additional run in the 6th, as Tito Fuentes doubled home Dave May.
Then, the wheels came off for Lolich. Campaneris walked, and moved to second on a bunt single by
Amos Otis. Lou Brock’s sacrifice moved the batters up a base, prompting Williams to call for the
intentional walk. Tony Perez promptly singled home Campy, then, after Menke flied harmlessly to
Harper, Dave May singled home Otis and Bench. The Spiders were able to get one run in the 8th,
but Paul Lindblad came on to start the ninth and, as he had done in the LCS, surrendered three
straight hits to start the frame. The Rats took the opening game 8-1, leaving the Spiders
shocked and shattered, their best pitching hope having been pummeled from start to finish.

SPB1-1972 WS GAME 2
Tom Seaver started for the Rats against Spiders’ 15-game-winning rookie sensation Dick
Tidrow. And once again they showed powerful hitting, while the Spiders could barely scrape
theirs together. Tony Perez scored the first run on a Tito Fuentes sac fly, and then, in the
fourth, a lead-off double by Johnny Bench set up run a running single by Dave May and another
sac fly for Fuentes. For their part, the Spiders were dropping like flies. But, in the 4th, the
Spiders, too, began to feel some hope. Dick Allen singled to start the inning, then, after Larry
Stahl struck out, Joe Torre reached first on Menke’s throwing error. The light-hitting catcher
Glenn Borgmann then doubled down the third base line, scoring Allen and Torre and bringing the
Spiders within one. Bert Campaneris homered to start the 5th, negating the Spiders momentum, but
Tidrow settled down to retire the next three batters. In the bottom of the 5th, Tommy Helms
doubled to lead off. Then, suddenly, after Seaver struck out Crawford, Dick Allen parked Seaver’s
2nd pitch into the net above the Green Monster, tying the score. Tidrow caught a second wind from
then on, retiring the next 8 batters in the row, tiring briefly in the 8th, but getting out of
jams in the 8th and 9th. Seaver, too, settled down, and allowed but one more hit through the eighth
inning. With the score tied, the Rats brought in unhittable reliever Cy Acosta to push the game
into extra innings. Pinch-hitter Gene Tenace lined harmlessly to Campaneris, pinch-hitter Tommy
Harper flied to right. Then, Tommy Helms doubled again. Ken Henderson, who had entered the game
in the 7th, lined Acosta’s 3rd pitch into right field, scoring Helms with the game winner. Spiders
win the game in a walk-off, 5-4. Tied at one game apiece, the series shifted to Shea Stadium, in
Flushing, for game 3.

SPB1-1972 WS GAME 3
Stan Bahnsen had been an enigma all year, so there were no great expectations of his
success versus Milt Pappas, who had led the Rats in quality starts during the regular
season. And, indeed, Pappas held the Spiders in a trance. Although the first two batters
reached base in the first, Pappas retired the dangerous Allen on a double play, then proceeded
to retire the next 9 batters. For his part, Bahnsen exceeded expectations. He hit Campaneris
to start the game, but then Tenace caught him stealing. Nor did he surrender a hit until two
were out in the 4th inning. There, Amos Otis drew the first walk against him. Then, after
Bahnsen struck out Lou Brock, Johnny Bench shocked the Spiders by parking Bahnsen’s 3rd
pitch into the net for a 2-0 lead. This was largely enough for Pappas, who allowed no more
than one base runner in an inning and only one hit between the first and eighth innings.
Fuentes singled home the Rats’ 3rd run in the 7th, then, the Rats capitalized on some sloppy
Spiders pitching by a wild Pete Richert and ineffective Ken Sanders to score another run,
thanks to Dave May’s double. With two outs in the ninth inning, Joe Lahoud singled for the
Spiders, and Tenace tripled him home, but Tom Hall came on to induce a harmless grounder to
end the game. Flushing Rats lead the series two games to one.

SPB1-1972 WS GAME 4
With a heavy heart, the Spiders sent Mickey Lolich for a second time against the right-handed
powerhouse lineup of the Rats. Down two games to one, there simply was no point in risking
the game in the uncertain hands of Rich Hand or Jim Barr, the alternative choices. And, as
in game 1, the Rats struck first, as Johnny Bench led off the 2nd inning with a home run.
Lolich retired the next batters, but after Game 1, it looked like the damage had already been
done. Then, the Spiders came to life. Light hitting shortstop singled to start the third.
Mickey Lolich tried to bunt him over and wound up reaching first on a squib single. Tommy Helms
then delivered a bases-clearing double to vault the Spiders in front 3-1. Perry recovered to
retire the next three batters to exit the 3rd, and in fact continued to mow down Spiders, 21
in a row allowing no base runners whatsoever over the remainder of the game. Since the Spiders
bats were not helping, it was simply up to Lolich and the Rats lineup who had tortured him in
the first game. In the 4th inning, Bench reached on a Torre error, and Perez singled him to second,
but Menke grounded into a force out to end it. In the 6th, the Rats had a dramatic chance. Otis
walked to start the frame, stole second, then Brock singled him to third. Bench flew out to center,
scoring Otis and narrowing the score to 3-2. Perez moved Brock to second on a ground ball, but Menke
struck out to end the threat. In the 7th, the Rats again got a runner to second, to no avail, and
Lolich struck out 2 to control the 8th. The game came down to the 9th inning, and, not trusting his
bullpen, Williams stayed with Lolich, who was clearly tiring and pushing 140 pitches. After striking
out Menke, Lolich walked pinch-hitter Reitz, then struck out Tito Fuentes. Pinch hitter Willie Mays
walked on 5 pitches, pushing the lead runner into scoring position. It was clear that Lolich had
run out of gass, with the surprising and dangerous Campaneris coming up. But Lolich struck him out
on three pitches, his 10th K, to end the game and tie the series at two games apiece.

SPB1-1972 WS GAME 5To start the fifth game, Rich Hand made his first appearance of the series for the Spiders, facing Game 2 starter Tom Seaver, who had pitched well but left with no decision. Seaver picked up where he left off, striking out two of the first three batters he faced and allowing his first hit in the 3rd, a harmless single by Gene Tenace. Meanwhile, Hand struggled, walking two in the first but getting out of it, allowing another two base runners in the 2nd, then, after giving up a single to Lou Brock in the third, putting a ball into Bench’s wheelhouse, which quickly found itself in the left field bleachers, for a 2-0 Rats lead. Hand recovered his composure somewhat, settling in from that point on, striking out 6 batters through the next three frames. But, Seaver was equally powerful, retiring 11 straight and striking out 3 into the sixth inning. With two outs, though, he walked Tommy Harper—who had still yet to deliver his first hit, then Helms—once again—delivered an rbi double, scoring him. Ken Henderson promptly singled Helms home, tying the score. But Seaver struck out 3 of the next five batters he faced, and the game made it into the 7th as a 2-2 tie. Hand had been effective, though he was not at any point in the season been as durable as Lolich or Tidrow, so he was left in to start the 7th. After Campaneris popped harmlessly to Helms at second, Otis singled, and Lou Brock moved him to second with a walk. Hand opted to pitch around the usually dangerous Johnny Bench and coaxed a lazy fly to Harper in center field. With two out now, Hand walked Perez after battling him to a 3-2 count, but was left in the game. He then walked Dave May on 5 pitches, pushing the go-ahead run across the plate. Finally realizing the need for relief pitching, Williams risked bringing in Sanders with the bases loaded, and he promptly coaxed Menke to ground out to short, ending the inning. Strickland came on to pitch for the Rats and retired them on 13 pitches to get out of the 8th. Jim Barr came on for the Spiders, and returned the favor with interest, retiring the Rats on 7 pitches. In the top of the ninth, Tom Hall, who had saved game 1, came on, retiring the Spiders in order for his second save and the 3-2 win, with the Rats taking the 3-games-to-2 advantage back to Fenway. 10/15/1972, CLE72-FLU72, Shea Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1972 Spiders 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 3 0 3 1 1972 Rats 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 x 3 6 0 10 0 Spiders AB R H BI AVG Rats AB R H BI AVG Harper cf 3 1 0 0 .000 Campaneris ss 5 0 0 0 .095 Helms 2b 4 1 1 1 .238 Otis cf 3 1 1 0 .222 Henderson lf 4 0 1 1 .231 Brock lf 3 1 2 0 .250 Allen D 1b 4 0 0 0 .150 Bench c 3 1 1 2 .353 Stahl rf 2 0 0 0 .286 Perez T 1b 3 0 0 0 .389 Borgmann ph 1 0 0 0 .400 May D rf 1 0 0 1 .353 Torre 3b 3 0 0 0 .000 Menke 3b 3 0 1 0 .176 Tenace c 3 0 1 0 .333 Strickland p 0 0 0 0 .000 Kubiak ss 2 0 0 0 .143 Hall p 0 0 0 0 .000 Lahoud ph 1 0 0 0 .357 Fuentes 2b 3 0 1 0 .400 Kelleher ss 0 0 0 0 .000 Seaver p 3 0 0 0 .000 Hand p 1 0 0 0 .000 Reitz 3b 1 0 0 0 .000 Sanders p 0 0 0 0 .000 28 3 6 3 Crawford ph 0 0 0 0 .250 Moses ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Barr p 0 0 0 0 .000 29 2 3 2 Spiders INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Hand L 0-1 6.2 6 3 3 8 6 121 66 4.05 Sanders 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 4 3 0.00 Barr 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 7 6 0.00 8.0 6 3 3 8 6 132 75 Rats INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Seaver W 1-0 7.0 3 2 2 2 9 114 66 3.00 Strickland H 1 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 13 9 0.00 Hall S 2 1.0 0 0 0 0 2 13 7 0.00 9.0 3 2 2 2 11 140 82 CLE: Lahoud batted for Kubiak in the 7th Kelleher inserted at ss in the 7th Crawford batted for Sanders in the 8th Moses batted for Crawford in the 8th Borgmann batted for Stahl in the 9th FLU: Reitz inserted at 3b in the 8th 2B-Helms.

SPB1-1972 WS GAME 6
Back in Fenway, Game 6 looked to be all Ken Brett, as Rats manager Joe DeZarlo started
the young and hard-hitting pitcher for his first appearance of the series. Williams
encountered with rookie Dick Tidrow. And, true to form, the Rats struck first. After the
first two hitters were retired on infield grounders, Lou Brock doubled, then Johnny Bench
delivered Tidrow’s 7th pitch into the netting over the Green Monster for a 2-0 Rats lead.
In the bottom half of the 1st, Harper, who had still not gotten a single hit, walked on 5
pitches, and scored three batters later on Dick Allen’s double into the right field corner,
narrowing the Rats’ lead to one. But Tenace grounded out to third, and that was that. For
much of the game it was a stalemate. Tidrow retired 17 batters in a row after Bench’s home
run, while Brett retired 11 batters in a row after Allen’s double. In the 5th inning, the
Spiders threatened again. With one out, Brett walked Lahoud, who was then singled to second
by Rich Morales, only the second hit allowed all game by the lefty. Tidrow sacrificed the two
runners to second and third, but Brett closed out the 5th by striking out the still hapless
Harper. Tidrow walked Bench in the 7th. Bolin came on in the 6th and proceeded to retire 6
of the 7 batters he faced through the seventh. The only hit he allowed was Joe Torre’s 1st
of the series. Meanwhile, apart from a walk to Bench in the 7th and a single by pinch-hitter
Ken Reitz in the 8th, Tidrow was perfect through 8.
In the bottom of the eighth, hard-throwing Steve Kealey came on to try to nail down the win
and the series championship for the Rats. Tidrow was left in to bat for himself, again because
of bullpen concerns, and he reached on an error by the usually sure-handed Johnny Bench. Tommy
Harper then singled him to second. Tommy Helms then singled home Tidrow and Harper with the tying
and go-ahead runs, as Otis bobbled the ball in center. Henderson singled in front of Otis, moving
Helms to 2nd. Having allowed 3 straight hits, Kealey was lifted in favor of Billy Wilson. Dick
Allen greeted him with a lined single through the infield, scoring Harper. Wilson then uncorked
a wild pitch moving both runners into scoring position. Gene Tenace grounded out to third,
forcing Henderson at home. Torre struck out and Lahoud flew out to May, ending the threat, but
the Spiders entered the 9th inning having come from behind to take a 4-2 lead. Williams left Tidrow
in. After inducing Otis to fly out to Harper, Brock singled. Rather than face Johnny Bench with his
tired young pitcher, he brought in Ken Sanders. Sanders coaxed Bench to pop harmlessly to Helms,
then walked Perez, pushing the speedy Brock into scoring position. Dave May grounded into a force
out to end the game in a 4-2 Spiders come-from-behind victory and a series tied at 3 games apiece.

SPB1-1972 WS GAME 7
Game 7 saw the third matchup of Rats and Spiders aces Gaylord Perry and Mickey Lolich.
Both pitchers had won a game, but Perry had definitely been the more consistent of the
two, and with the worrisome right-hand lineup set to face the wily lefty Lolich, the Rats
were within their rights to expect a good outcome. This was particularly the case when it
was clear that Lolich did not have his good stuff. After Campaneris lined out to Kubiak to
start the game, Lolich allowed three straight singles, the third, to Bench, scoring Otis.
Lolich struck out Tony Perez and induced Menke to fly out to Stahl to end the threat. In the
bottom of the inning, Perry quickly retired the first two batters. Then, Ken Henderson singled
to left center. Down 0-2 in the count, Dick Allen then dug in against Perry, drawing three
straight balls and fouling off two pitches before homering deep into the night, putting the
Spiders ahead 2-1. Joe Torre was then hit by a pitch and Jerry Moses singled, but Helms grounded
out to end the 1st frame. Both pitchers retired their opponents in order in the 2nd. But Lolich
struggled mightily in the 3rd, loading the bases before getting Menke to ground out to Allen at
1st. Perry answered with a 1-2-3 3rd. The Rats got another runner, Fuentes, into scoring position
in the 4th, thanks to a Stahl error, but he was stranded, and after walking Torre, Perry retired
the next 3 batters in the bottom of the frame. Lolich pitched his only 1-2-3 inning in the 5th,
but the wheels came off for Perry in the bottom half of the inning. Lolich himself led off with
a single between 1st and 2nd. After Harper flied out to left, Larry Stahl lined a double to right
as Lolich lumbered into 3rd. On Perry’s first pitch, Ken Henderson lined a double down the third base
line, scoring both runners. Although Perry then struck out both Allen and Torre, the Spiders were
now ahead 4-1 and Perry’s night and season were done. In the 6th inning, Tony Perez greeted Lolich’s
1st pitch with a homer into the net. Both May and Fuentes got on base, bringing up the dangerous
pinch hitter Ken Reitz. But Lolich somehow coaxed Reitz into a double play, ending the threat with
the Spiders up now 4-2. Cy Acosta relieved Perry and this time retired the Spiders in order, striking
out two. In the 7th, Lolich again struggled, Campaneris singled to open the frame, and went to third
on Otis’s hit-and-run single. After Lolich struck out Brock, Bench lifted a high fly ball to
Henderson in left, scoring Campaneris and narrowing the score to 4-3. Perez flew out to Harper
ending the inning. In the bottom of the 7th, Jim Strickland mowed down the Spiders on 8 pitches.
Grant Jackson came on to relieve a tiring Lolich in the top of the 8th, and returned the favor,
benching the Rats with 8 pitches of his own. In the bottom of the 8th, Milt Pappas came on and
outshone them all, requiring only 7 pitches to retire the Spiders. So, it came down to the top of
the ninth, with the Spiders ahead by just one run in the seventh game. Jackson was left in to face
Gil Garrido, who promptly singled. Ken Sanders came on. Campaneris struck out. Otis grounded out to
second, moving Garrido into scoring position. Then, Sanders struck out Lou Brock to end the game and
the series and the season with an unlikely championship for the Cleveland Spiders, their first since 1966.
