Host Royals Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
Boston Red Sox center fielder Mike Anderson was the difference-maker at Royals Stadium 1973-1994 today, as he led his club to victory in a pivotal Game 5 of the League Championship Series. The Red Sox took the 13-4 win over the Kansas City Royals to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

The Red Sox took a 7-3 lead in the top of the fifth inning. Facing Kansas City hurler Chuck Dobson with two outs, Anderson hit a 3-run home run.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Anderson.

Game 6 is scheduled for Friday at Fenway Park 1970-1975 in Boston.
