In what many thought would be a low scoring Game 6 turned out to be the exact opposite. Catfish Hunter started for Oakland and Bob Moose got the start for Pittsburgh. The Pirates scored a run in the 3rd inning and with the bases loaded with 2 out in the bottom of the 4th, manager Bill Virdon saw an opportunity to cash in on some hard to get runs. He pinch-hit for Moose with Bob Robertson who walked, forcing in the 2nd run of the game for Pittsburgh. Hunter got the final out of the inning, but he was pinch-hit for in the top of the 5th when Oakland had 2 men in scoring position with 2 out. The A's weren't able to cash in on their opportunity, the bullpens took over from that point, and so did the bats for both clubs. When it was over, Pittsburgh had won the game 9-6. The Pirates had 13 hits in the game and the A's had 14. So tomorrow there will be a 7th Game of the World Series. Dock Ellis is scheduled to start for the hometown Pirates. Blue Moon Odom will start for Oakland.
