GAME 6 - Indians 5, White Sox 3

GAME 6-7 - Cleveland Municipal Stadium
Cal_McLish_CLE Cal McLish rebounded to the form that made him a Cy Young candidate during the regular season.  Bart Johnson also rebounded.  His unfortunately for Chicago fans was a rebound back to mediocrity.  McLish scattered 8 hits by only allowing 2 runs over 8 innings of work.  Johnson was tagged for 5 runs in 6 innings.  The game was actually scoreless until Cleveland scored a run in the bottom of the 4th when Bobby Avilla singled home Larry Doby.  The bottom of the 5th would be Johnson's complete undoing as the Indians put up a 3 spot and never looked back.  The big guns, Minoso and Doby had RBI singles in that frame.  Will Harrell hit a solo shot in the 6th to make it 5-0.  Chicago finally got on the board in the 7th when Tony Muser hit a pinch hit homer to Tony_Muser_CHW lead off the inning.  They also got another on a Buddy Bradford sac fly after pinch hitters Jerry Hairston and Ron Santo singled.  Bradford, the Chisox 3rd pinch hitter in a row had the opportunity to bring his team within one if he could have had another 4 feet on his sac fly.  Dick Allen grounded out weaky to short to end it as the series headed to a decisive game 7.

Series tied at 3-3
