Los Angeles Dodgers v Philadelphia Phillies, 1978 NLCS Game 2Veterans Stadium, Sec 714 Row 5
Same teams one year later. Same section as I went with an aunt who was a season ticket holder.
How ironic was it that Tommy John would end up needing Tommy John surgery? John was the Dodgers starting pitcher going against the Phils Dick Ruthven.
Davy Lopes homered off Ruthven to start off the 4th. And in the 5th, the same thorn in the side to the Phils. Dusty Baker doubled to get things going for the Dodgers. Davy Lopes singled both Baker and Steve Yeager in for a 3-0 lead for the Dodgers.
Lopes also tripled in the 7th to score Rick Monday and put Los Angeles ahead 4-0.
The series would move to LA with the Dodgers up 2-0 in the best of 5 series. The Dodgers would go onto the World Series to face the New York Yankees.
