Philadelphia Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
California got a big-time effort from pitcher Eric Norman, but it wasn't enough to keep the Philadelphia Athletics from winning the game, 3-2. Norman threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. With the win, Philadelphia goes to 51-63, while the Seals fall to 54-60.

The Athletics relied on pinch hitter Ed Kirkpatrick for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the ninth, he delivered, hitting a solo home run to seal the deal.

"We faced good pitching and still got it done," said Kirkpatrick.
