Game 3: Hosting a Perfect League Series game in Huntley against the Singapore Sluggers...folks, it does not get any better than this. Especially when Rube Marquard, who started Huntley's opening playoff game in the Division Series but was then relegated to the bullpen for the Sub-League Series, celebrates his return to the playoff rotation by holding the Sluggers to 1 run in 6 innings, and Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle take Perfect Curt Schilling deep, to lead Huntley to a 5-1 win and a 2-1 series advantage.
Game 4: They don't call it the Cy Young Award for nothing. Perfect Cy shuts down the red-hot Huntley offense, holding the Red Raiders to a mere 5 hits and 1 run over 8 innings. Ted Williams backs the sterling 102-pitch effort with a 2-run homer off Don Sutton, and the Sluggers even the series at 2 with a 4-1 win.
Game 5: Huntley's 99 Walter Johnson vs Singapore's 100 Walter Johnson. Winning 2 in a row at Singapore would be an incredibly tall task, so this is basically a must-win for the Red Raiders...
