Game Five - Tigers 8 Zorros 7. (10 Inn.) WP - Dave Righetti (2-2) LP - Craig McMurtry (2-6). HR - Steve Balboni (19), Johnny Ray (7). Another wild game, and another extra inning win from the Tigers. Let alone a spectacular game for Ray, as you will see. Going into the bottom of the 8th, Doc Gooden Tigers starter had a 6-2 lead, before running into serious trouble. With one out Juan Samuel tripled, and the Jeff Leonard drew a walk. Gooden then whiffed Cliff Johnson for his 15th strikeout of this game. But, Balboni then hit a ball out of the park to score 3 and make it a 1 run game. Righetti came in to try to get out of the mess, but Craig Reynolds got a hit, and PH Don Slaught doubled while Reynolds hustled all the way home tying the game. So much for Doc's 15 whiffs. Then the Tigers came right back in their half of the 8th, as Ray tripled with 2 outs, and McMurtry threw a wild pitch with Ray scampering home with the go ahead run. But again, Righetti could not hold a lead a second time. In the 9th,with one out, Juan Samuel singled then stole second. After another ground out, the dangerous Cliff Johnson doubled and Samuel scored the tying run. But as luck would have it, in the 10th Righetti finally had a scoreless inning, and in the bottom with McMurty still on the hill, he quickly retired the first two Tiger batters, but then Darrel Brown singled, and Howard Johnson drew a walk. John Franco then relieved McMurtry, but Ray promptly greeted him with a base hit, his 5th knock of the game that scored Brown with the deciding run. Brown also had 3 hits for the Tigers, and on the Preble side of the ledger, Samuel had 4 hits and Reynolds 3. Ray not only had five hits this game, but this 10 inning single gave him the rare job of hitting for the cycle! He already had 2 doubles, a triple, and a HR earlier! He doubled in the first, hit a 2 run HR in the 3rd, flew to deep RF in the 5th, (his only out) doubled again in the 7th, tripled in the 8th, then his 10th inning game winning single complete the cycle. Wow! A game of games for Ray! 7/8/1984, PRE84-FRA84, Tiger Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 R H E LOB DP 1984 Zorros 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 4 1 0 7 14 2 9 1 1984 Tigers 0 1 2 0 0 1 2 1 0 1 8 11 0 11 0 Zorros AB R H BI AVG Tigers AB R H BI AVG Kittle lf 2 0 0 0 .226 Brown lf 6 2 3 1 .302 Henderson,D ph 1 0 0 0 .243 Brooks ss 4 0 0 0 .249 Martin lf 2 0 0 0 .048 Johnson 3b 1 0 0 0 .283 Baines rf 4 0 1 0 .298 Ray 2b 6 3 5 3 .311 Samuel 2b 5 2 4 1 .278 Kingman dh 5 1 1 1 .247 Leonard cf 3 1 0 0 .301 Walker rf 1 0 0 0 .258 Johnson dh 5 0 2 1 .336 Lowry c 1 0 0 0 .042 Balboni 1b 5 1 1 3 .232 Matuszek 1b 4 1 0 0 .262 Reynolds ss 4 2 3 0 .304 Davis,C cf 4 0 1 0 .248 Dybzinski ph 1 0 0 0 .333 Smalley 3b 2 1 1 2 .220 Presley 3b 3 1 1 1 .224 Jones ph 1 0 0 0 .236 Slaught ph 1 0 1 1 .325 Heath c 3 0 0 0 .242 Washington 3b 1 0 0 0 .349 Frobel ph 2 0 0 0 .257 Wockenfuss c 3 0 1 0 .343 40 8 11 7 40 7 14 7 Zorros INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Robinson 5.2 5 4 3 4 2 108 62 5.91 McMurtry L 3-6 4.0 5 4 4 2 2 71 43 5.40 Franco 0.0 1 0 0 0 0 3 3 2.06 9.2 11 8 7 6 4 182 108 Tigers INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Gooden 7.2 10 5 5 4 15 128 82 2.76 Righetti BS 2, W 2-2 2.1 4 2 2 2 4 58 33 3.71 10.0 14 7 7 6 19 186 115 PRE: Henderson,D batted for Kittle in the 7th Martin inserted at lf in the 7th Slaught batted for Presley in the 8th Washington inserted at 3b in the 8th Dybzinski batted for Reynolds in the 10th Dybzinski moved to ss in the 10th FRA: Johnson inserted at 3b in the 7th Smalley moved to ss in the 7th Frobel batted for Heath in the 7th Lowry inserted at c in the 8th Frobel moved to rf in the 8th Jones batted for Smalley in the 10th E-Samuel, Balboni. 2B-Johnson(17), Reynolds(8), Wockenfuss(7), Slaught(8), Brown(3), Ray 2(27). 3B-Samuel(7), Ray(5).
