Critical Game 5 Goes to Host Bulls, 8-2
Kansas City right fielder Ken Durick was the key at Independence Field, as he powered the Bulls to victory in a critical Game 5 of the Divisional Round. The Bulls took the 8-2 win over the Pittsburgh Industrials to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

The game turned with one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Durick hit a 2-run home run off Bob Briggs. It propelled the Bulls into the lead, 2-0.

"Every team in baseball loses," Industrials manager Vincent Wicker said. "We're in the playoffs and we still have the same guys that got us here. We'll bounce back."

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, October 4th , 1977 at Allegheny Field in Pittsburgh.
