With a 3-2 lead in the World Series, Pittsburgh came into the game looking to end it! Seattle needed to tie the series to take the series to game 7 where they were the favorites. SP John Grimsley has been one of the more successful pitchers in the Pittsburgh organization in the Post season coming into the game with a 5-1 post season record. Seattle started SP Pablo Mercedes which is 0-2 in the Post season career. A pretty bold move since this would define their season, however who could blame Seattle when Mercedes was 17-8 during the regular season. Mercedes would give up 6 earned runs before P Horacio Duran would come in to try and stop the bleeding. It was too late! Seattle could only put up 2 additional runs making it a 7-3 ball game..RP Felix Moran would come in to finish the job only giving up 1 run in the final 2 innings giving Pittsburgh its first Championship!!!
