Ben Oglivie cracked his 41st homer -- tying him with New York's Reggie Jackson for the league title -- to send the game into extra innings, then scored the winning run on a 15th-inning single by Vic Harris as the Brewers shaded the A's, 5-4. Oglivie singled with one out in the 15th and stole second. After Gorman Thomas flied out and John Poff was walked intentionally, Harris delivered the game-winning blow. [The Sporting News]
