Original NBC Broadcast with Curt Gowdy, Monte Moore, and Tony Kubek
was recently restored and Digitalized off some pre recorded DVDs I've had since the late 90s and is missing some of the Top of the 3rd and most of the Top of 5th inning the footage has been lost and/or wasn't recored some color correction and a new audio added in post. Unfortunately these few games (4-5) are the only games that are out there that were saved/recorded.(after countless searches,only a shitty version of game 2 is out there (with the wrong or original aspect ratio was altered)
Game 5 has the Reds down 3 games to 1 as the starting pitchers for game 5 are Jim McGlothlin for Cincinnati and Jim Hunter for Oakland as a lead off HR from Pete Rose on the first pitch of the ballgame has the Reds out in front early but the A's come back quickly in the home 2nd inning as Gene Tenace hits his 4th Home Run of the series. But the Reds clip away scoring a pair runs in the 4th and 5th innings while taking Hunter out of the game in the 5th. McGlothin only lasts 3 innings and replaced by Pedro Borbon, Tom Hall as Oakland seems to be in control at this point of the game until the Reds 8th inning as Bobby Tolan continues his clutch hitting knocking Joe Morgan in from 2nd tying the game as Ross Grimsley comes into the game in the 8th inning (replacing Clay Carroll) and takes away any threat the A's had in the inning. In the Reds 9th a throwing error from A's reliever Rollie Fingers proved costly as the Reds score the winning run on a Pete Rose single to center (scoring Cesar Geromino) as Jack Billingham comes in the 9th inning and earns his first save of the series.
