Recap: Philadelphia had it all going for them in the Game Five victory, they cracked a dozen base hits, including five doubles, one triple and a home run and winning pitcher Ed Plank came through with another fine effort on the hill. He checked the Giants on five hits, striking out five and walking two and shutout them out until the ninth inning. Rookie Shigeo Nagashima led the hit brigade with 3-4. Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane and Alejandro Oms chipped in a pair of base hit each. Jimmie Foxx's (.150/0/0) single and Nagashima's (.600/0/3) double accounted for the first score in the second inning. Two doubles by Oms (.333/0/2) and Simmons (.381/0/4) provided a 2-0 lead in the third. The Athletics really busted it open in the sixth with three more scores. Frank Baker led off with a homer. Nagashima doubled and scored on a single by Danny Murphy (.263/1/3) and Ed Plank (.000/0/1) plated Murphy with a sacrifice fly to make it 5-0. In the ninth Simmons tripled and Baker's sac fly kicked it up to 6-0. New York put two runs across in their last at bat, when Willie Mays (.222/0/1) got a base hit, Barry Bonds (.111/1/1) walked, Alvin Dark (.278/0/1) singled, followed by pinchhitters Tom Haller's (.000/0/1) and Orlando Cepeda's (.000/0/1) RBI ground outs. The Giants will try to even the Series in Game Six with lefthander Johnny Antonelli (11-8 4.57) getting the call from Manager John McGraw. McGraw said he thought lefties were more successful against the A's in the regular season. Philadelphia was 65-45 against righthanders and a subpar 21-22 against southpaws. Gaylord Perry and rookie Jeff Tesreau will be in the bullpen ready to help out, if needed. Skipper Connie Mack has named Rube Waddell (14-13 3.19) his starter. He beat Tesreau 5-4 in Game Three.
