The Game 6 victory was chiefly led by a 7-inning, 1 run performance by 91 Sabathia, who ended the series with 14IP, 3R, 11H, 2BB, and 13Ks. Burgmeier took over in the 8th and pitched 2 innings of clean-slate baseball to seal the series win for the Condors, redeeming his blown save in Game 2 in which he also inherited a save situation from Sabathia in the 8th. Nothing special offensively, a 3-run 3rd inning rally built on walks and singles was enough for the Quantum Condors to take the 4-1 win and the 4-2 series victory.

What an odd way to win a WS title. Going down 2-0 in every single series, only to win every single game following those initial deficits including every single home game throughout the playoffs. I know some people tell you that you shouldn't build too much around your home park settings, but if you can play like this at home during the playoffs it might be worth it.

Great series by the Aina Haina and OMGPuppies. I had written it off as a loss after going down 2-0, especially since the Parakeets at the time had gone 9-1 in the playoffs and looked unstoppable. I guess the 16 run bell-ringer in game 3 must have played a real factor into the result of the series; even in game 6 there were still Parakeets relievers who were tired despite the off day, while the Quantum Condor bench was totally fresh.

Collections tomorrow and tournaments soon, so this meta is bound to be shaken up a lot. 3 lefty teams were represented in the NLCS/ALCS, so it seems lefty teams are still dominant despite the extended adjustment period (and despite the poor performance lefty teams show against lefty pitchers in the regular season). I wonder if we will ever see an adjustment to counter that in the coming weeks.

Great series and write ups! I was hoping the playoff home field advantage would hold, but the Condors were too much for us.
