Athletics Take Nail-Biter Over Dodgers
The Oakland Athletics bested the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-4, at Oakland Coliseum. David Justice was named player of the game. He was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs. Oakland is now 58-75, Los Angeles 68-67.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman John Olerud came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Los Angeles pitcher Bill Wilkinson, he hit a 0-1 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 5-4.

"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Justice said.
