The 1998 Braves look unstoppable right now. They swept the 1971 Orioles right out of the tournament 4-0, outscoring them 31-9. Wow. Just wow. They're going to need to feel invincible if they want to get past either the 1927 Yankees or the 1954 Yankees, but for now they can chill and wait to see who their opponent will be in the Final Four. Not much to say about this series. The Orioles had a 3-1 lead after 1 and a 4-1 lead after 7 in Game 4, but their bullpen could not hold it, and the Braves tied it in the eighth and won it in the tenth. Chipper Jones was every bit as dominant as his team in snagging MVP honours, and he hit a huge game tying 2-run HR in the eighth inning of Game 4. He hit a staggering .500/.566/1.250 with 4 HR and 9 RBI...In a 4 game series...Uh...Yeah.

I will post the boxscore of the final game (in two parts) and the game log of same as well as the Series Recap. Game 4 was the only one that was remotely close, as the Orioles only led for the first half inning of Game 1 outside of the six innings they had the lead in Game 4. Utter domination...Again...Wow.
