The Warlocks get the Mound City Crappie in the G306 Series, and on paper this looks good for us. They won 11 fewer games than we did, going 88-74 with just a +45 run differential. But... they’ve got the usual collection of guys, so once again this will be a Live Mission showdown.

We get a decent start from Greg Maddux in Game 1 and win 6-5 in a game we had in control despite the close final score. We send Buffington and his perfect 2-0, 0.00 post-season record to the mound in Game 2, but he has nothing. We’re down 9-3 after four, and fall 10-7, evening the series.

It’s Carlton for us and Maddux for them in Game 3, and Maddux gets the better of us as we fall, 3-1. We send Jack Stivetts to the mound for Game 4 and he is just outstanding, giving up three hits in eight shutout innings. Nathan costs us some PP by surrendering a homer in the 9^th, but we win 3-1 to make this a best-of-three series.

Game 5 is a rematch between Maddux (us) and Johnny Allen (them) and once again we get to Allen early, scoring seven in the first three innings on our way to an 11-5 win. We are One. Game. Away.

We head home with a chance to close it out, but can’t get it done, losing 6-2 as Buffington has his second straight bad start. And so... it’s down to one game.

The final game comes down to Steve Carlton for us (22-9, 4.29) and Ted Lyons for them (11-10, 4.52). And neither one of them gets off to a good start. Carlton gives up a first-inning dinger to Jeff Bagwell, but we tie it in the bottom of the inning. But they get a two-out, two-run single from Troy Tulowitzki in the second. We respond again, and in a big way, scoring five in the bottom of the inning, highlighted by a two-run dinger by our own Bagwell, to go up 6-3. Things settle down a bit and we lead 7-4 after seven (thanks to Bags’ second homer of the game). Bert Blyleven gets a 1-2-3 8^th for us, and we head to the 9^th. Joe Nathan comes on and promptly loads the bases with no one out. He strikes out Billy Williams, and gets Ichiro to ground into a fielder’s choice, and with two outs Yogi Berra steps up. And he hits a harmless fly to center that’s taken by Ichiro, and...
