A's TAKE GAME 1 PITCHER'S DUEL Brett O'Keefe and Pat Donohoe dueled in Game 1 of the Championship Series, but it was O'Keefe and the A's that came out ahead. In the 2nd, Rob Muollo worked a walk. Nick Barton then ripped a double into the gap to plate Muollo and put the A's up 1-0. The Spinners' Isaac Valdiviezo singled in the 4th and reached 3rd base, but back-to-back strikeouts from O'Keefe kept the Spinners scoreless. In the 6th, Brian Balise single and stole 2nd. Bo McIntyre then drove a ball to left to plate Balise and extend the lead to 2. In the bottom of the 7th, Ricky Salvia singled, stole 2nd, and ultimately reached 3rd. But once again, O'Keefe slammed the door to cap off the complete game shutout. O'Keefe struck out 7 Spinners and yielded just 3 hits. Barton finished 2-3 with a double and an RBI. Game 2 is Sunday at 3:00 at Nipper in Waltham.
