Miley BB CD 1972  ALCS Game 4
 Called by Jim Piersall, Jim Woods & Monte Moore

Tied going into the 10th, Oakland scores twice, and it looks like they have the AL pennant wrapped up.  But, although the A's use 3 relievers they cannot get a single man out as Detroit ralles to score 3 times and send the Series to Game 5.
