Athletics Even With Royals After Extra-Innings Win
The Oakland Athletics nearly wasted a strong game from starter Billy Deckard, but were saved by some timely hitting in a walk-off win over the Kansas City Royals today.

Deckard threw 5.2 innings of shutout ball. The win allowed Oakland to force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the tenth. With Oakland trailing 1-0, Jim Stella hit a cutter from Ken Wilson to right for a 2-run single. Just like that, the Athletics had a walk-off win.

"It was a good day but I'm not letting my guard down," Deckard said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."

Game 3 is scheduled for Thursday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
