Watch party: 1988 World Series, Game 5

After a close 4-3 victory in Game 4, the Dodgers are now only one win away from their second World Series of the decade. LA leads Oakland 3-1 in this best-of-seven series, and they’ll send their ace to the mound tonight, Orel Hershiser.

Hershiser was dominant in game 2 of this series. He threw a shutout and held the Athletics to only three hits. He also struck out eight. Bulldog has been great for the Dodgers all postseason, as he’s allowed only three runs in 33 ²⁄₃ innings in work.

1. Steve Sax - 2B
2. Franklin Stubbs - 1B
3. Mickey Hatcher - LF
4. Mike Marshall - RF

We’ll be starting Game 5 at 5 p.m. PT. There isn’t a full version of the game on Youtube, it’s only split into two. So, once the first one ends, click on the link to Part 2 to join. If you join late, skip ahead to however minutes past 5 o’clock it is. It’s a little more difficult with it being broken into two parts, but I trust you’ll be able to do it!
