8 groups complete:

Top of the bracket:

Our 4th upset of the tourney from the upper group has happened.

47) 1937 Yankees over 2480) 1953 Pirates 4-0 = Joe DiMaggio .500 (10-20) 3 rbi
48) 1935 Cubs over 2479) 1949 Senators 4-2 = Billy Herman .500 (12-24) 8 rbi
2478) 1917 Pirates over 49) 1994 Expos 4-0 = William Fischer .588 (10-17) 2-7
The only game the Expos were really even in during this series was game 2. Pedro Martinez allowed 1 run over 8 innings, but John Wetteland got charged for 5 runs in the 10th to break the tie. Montreal had a couple of late rallies, but never enough to pull a game out.

51) 1913 Giants over 2476) 1964 Mets 4-3 = Larry Doyle .360 (9-25) 5 rbi
