Kansas City Moves on to League Championship Series
The Kansas City Athletics are moving on and the Boston Americans are heading home.

Such is the nature of the one-game format of the October Madness, which Kansas City won with a 15-5 victory at Fenway Park II to advance to the League Championship Series.

Alejandro Oms led the way for the winners, as he went 3-for-4 to spark the offense.

"Our dreams are still alive, that's all you can ask for," he told reporters after the win. "We'll enjoy this tonight and then refocus on the task at hand."

The Kansas City Athletics will play against the Washington Senators in the next round. Washington had a bye in the October Madness. The League Championship Series is scheduled to begin on October 4th, 1979.
