Season 3
World Series

Sox No Match For Destined Pirates
Pittsburgh End Storybook Season With Title

The team with the best record for the entirety of season three upped their game in the playoffs and made the World Series a no contest culminating their season into ultimate success. The MVP of the series was George Gibson who was flawless behind the plate and hit a robust .444. A recap of the series:

Game 1 In Pittsburgh
A four run 4th inning was more then enough as the Pirates opened the series behind a dominant pitching effort by Hank Robinson. Robinson went 8 innings allowing just three hits and one run as he kept the Red Sox off balance all afternoon working well with George Gibson. The tone was set with this game one win.

Game 2 In Pittsburgh
Another four run inning, this time in the 6th, brings the Pirates back from a deficit. Tommy Leach adds a run scoring triple as Tim Wakefield couldnt hold the lead. Wilbur Cooper was good enough but it took Howie Camitz to close the door on the Red Sox in the ninth, it si Camitz's sixth save of the post season.

Game 3 In Boston
Nomar Garicaparra and Manny Ramirez both go yard as Boston makes it a great homecoming to get themselves back in the series. Derek Lowe out performs Babe Adams as the Pirates leave 10 men on base and couldn't find the big hit. Nomar went 3-4 and Jason Varitek scored two runs in the win.

Game 4 In Boston
The most crucial game of the series. Boston held a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning behind Bronson Arroyo and could smell a tie in the series. However a George Gibson double broke the tie and a Jim Viox single gave the Pirates the lead showing the Bucs resolve. Camitz closed out yet another one late as Boston had their hearts broken in a game they really needed.

Game 5 In Boston
Bobby Byrne hit a two run home run off of Tim Wakefield and the Pirates opened up a 4-0 lead early giving starter Wilbur Cooper all the support he would need. Cooper cruised through seven innings allowing no runs and striking out six. A late Boston rally would make it interesting but in the end the Pirates closed things out and were deserved champions in a season they truly can be proud of.
