World Series Game 1 Victory for Taylor and Oakland
The Oakland Athletics started the World Series in style today, downing the visiting Washington Senators at Oakland Coliseum 1968-1995 by a score of 6-5 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Athletics right-hander Jerry Taylor threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball.

Had it not been for Lee Thomas, the results might have been different. In the bottom of the eighth inning, when the Athletics were trailing 3-2, Thomas hit a 2-run single for Oakland, giving his team the lead.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Oakland manager Craig Smith.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Oakland Coliseum 1968-1995 in Oakland.
