World Series G5: Robinson HR and 4 RBI help Newark, Bernhard win 5-3

Slam Dumps 5, Chips 3
Newark stayed alive this afternoon, battling the Chips as well as a 43 degree chilly temperature at first pitch. On short rest Bill Bernhard delivered, pitching very well for 7 innings before tiring in the eight. His final line: 8 IP, 8 H, 3 R.

Frank Robinson homered in the 6th to break a 1-1 tie while Mickey Mantle added insurance with a solo blast of his own two innings later. Robinson on the afternoon went 3-4 with 4 RBI and a run scored.

The biggest blow to DC didn't come at the hands of Newark however. Incredibly, Stan Musial went down with yet another injury and is out the rest of the series.

Game 6 (and 7 if necessary) will be played in the Astrodome as the series moves back to DC.
