(Wakefield). Both starters had their game on early, throwing shutouts through 4 innings. Tim Wakefield got plunked as usual in the 3rd inning in his first at bat, but was a victim of an inning ending double play ball from Marcus Giles. In the 5th inning, Wakefield loaded the bases with 1 out to bring Vernon Wells to the plate. Wells broke the deadlock, hitting a sacrifice fly to score the first Pilots run of the game. Jorge Posada followed up with a 3-run blast to make it 4-0 Pilots. That would be the final score of the game. David Wells was in control, throwing a 1-hit complete game shutout as the Pilots win game 3 by a score of 4-0.

(Escobar) at Bulldogs (Ortiz). Milwaukee revved up the run scoring machine early. In the 1st inning, Milton Bradley got a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on a base hit from Doug Mientkiewicz. In the 4th, with runners at 1st & 3rd, Casey Blake doubled, scoring a run. Yet another Pilots run happened in the 6th with a Rafael Furcal sacrifice fly. 2 more runs in the 7th and 2 more in the 8th gave little doubt as to the outcome. Milwaukee wins game 4 by a score of 7-1, and are a win away from advancing to the GT Conference finals.

Pilots (Hernandez) at Bulldogs (Shields). The Pilots had put on a clinic on winning games for the past 3 contests, and were looking to close up the series in game 5. In the top of the 1st, Vernon Wells put the Pilots up 2-0 with a 2-run blast. In the 3rd, Wells singled, moved to third on a Jorge Posada double and scored on an Ichiro ground out. 3-0 Milwaukee after 3. The Bulldogs scored their first runs of the game in the 5th inning. Marcus Giles singled, Bobby Abreu walked and Giles scored on a base hit from Carl Everett. Edgar Martinez hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Abreu to cut Milwaukee's lead to 1. The Pilots added an insurance run in the 8th on an RBI single from Mark Loretta. Rafael Soriano was closing it out in the bottom of the 9th with a 4-2 lead. Just 3 outs separated the Pilots from advancing to the conference finals. First batter up, Alex Cintron, lined out. Giles struck out. Bobby Abreu singled, putting the tying run at the plate, Carl Everett. Everett had a chance to tie it up, sending the ball to deep right field. But it wasn't deep enough, as Ichiro caught it to end the game. Milwaukee wins game 5 by a score of 4-2 and wins the first round playoff series in 5 games. They advance to the GT Conference finals.
