******************************************************************* GAME TWO -- Dragons (Harden) at Isotopes (Thomson). Having taken game one on visitor turf, the Dragons were again prepared for game 2. Avila scored the first run of the game in the 3rd when Jim Edmonds walked and scored on a Mike Sweeney double. Avila scored the second run of the game in the 4th when Aubrey Huff doubled, moved to 3rd on an Alex Rodriguez ground out, and scored on a base hit from Doug Mirabelli. Avila scored the 3rd & 4th runs of the game when Jim Edmonds and Mike Sweeney hit back to back home runs in the 5th inning. 4-0 Avila after 4 1/2 innings. The Isotopes finally scored their first run of the game in the bottom of the 5th with a Travis Hafner solo home run. They made it 4-2 Avila in the 7th when Sean Borroughs singled, moved to 2nd on a passed ball, and scored on a base hit from Hafner. But that would be as close as they would get. Avila added 2 more in the 8th on a bases loaded single from Carlos Almanzar for insurance but they wouldn't need it. The Dragons win game 2 by a score of 6-2, and head back to Avila with 2 wins under their belt.

******************************************************************* GAME THREE -- Isotopes (Drese) at Dragons (Pavano). The Isotopes did not expect to find themselves down 0-2 in the series before venturing to Dragons turf, but here they were. In the top of the 3rd, Springfield took an early lead when Sean Burroughs doubled, moved to third on a sac bunt from Ryan Drese and scored on a Mark Kotsay double. Avila tied the game up in the bottom of the 5th when Ty Wigginton hit a leadoff single, moved to 2nd on a Carl Pavano ground out and scored on a Johnny Damon single. Springfield retook the lead in the top of the 6th with an RBI single from Burroughs, but Avila tied it up at 2 in the bottom of the inning with a solo home run from Aubrey Huff. In the bottom of the 7th, with 2 on and 3 outs, Jim Edmonds smacked a hard grounder to Burroughs, who bobbled it. Error to the third baseman, and an unearned run scored, giving the Dragons a 3-2 lead. Huff went yard again in the 8th, his 2nd solo home run of the game to put the Dragons up 4-2 heading into the top of the 9th. Ray King was pitching for the Dragons in the top of the 9th, working on his 2nd inning of relief with a 2-run lead. Pinch hitter Brad Fullmer and Mark Kotsay each grounded out, putting 2 quick outs on the board. Pinch hitter Bobby Kielty hit a grounder to King, who threw the ball away to first. Kielty wound up at 2nd on the error. Gary Sheffield was walked intentionally to face Barry Bonds. The best hitter in the game, Barry Bonds. The go-ahead run at the plate, Barry Bonds. King worked Bonds to a 3-2 count (or is that Bonds worked King to a 3-2 count?) With the deciding pitch, Barry Bonds swung ... and missed. Strikeout. The crowd let out a loud cheer. Avila wins game 3 by a score of 4-2, and are a win away from the CDBL championship.

******************************************************************* GAME FOUR -- Isotopes (Maroth) at Dragons (Penny). Down 0-3, the Isotopes were in a must win situation. Meanwhile, Avila was 1 game away from their first CDBL title since 1995. Avila was once again prepared to play. In the 2nd, Josh Phelps singled and was driven in on a Richard Hidalgo triple. Hidalgo himself scored on a base hit from Aubrey Huff. 2-0 Dragons after 2. They made it 3-0 in the 3rd with a solo shot from Alex Rodriguez. The Isotopes scored their first run of the game in the 4th with a solo home run from Miguel Tejada. In the 6th, Gary Sheffield hit a dribbler in front of the plate. Yorvit Torrealba picked it up and winged it to first, but the ball sailed away. Error to the catcher, and Sheffield was on at 2nd. After Barry Bonds walked, Tejada hit a single to load the bases. Adam Kennedy hit a sacrifice fly, cutting Avila's lead to 1. With 2 outs, Sean Burroughs doubled, scoring another runner to tie the game up at 3, 2 of those runs unearned. LaTroy Hawkins was pitching in relief for Springfield in the bottom of the 7th. With 1 out, Alex Rodriguez smacked a triple. After Jim Edmonds was walked intentionally, Jose Hernandeze had the hit of his career, sending a 1-0 pitch over the left field wall. 3-run home run, and Avila was up 6-3. Solo home runs from Huff and Doug Mientkiewicz in the 8th gave the Dragons a commanding 8-3 lead heading into the 9th inning. Dan Kolb was pitching for the Dragons, 3 outs away from the CDBL championship. Kolb gave up 2 0 out hits, but with a 5 run lead the pressure was off. Kolb got Mark Kotsay to ground out, forcing the runner at out third. Travis Hafner flied out for 2 outs. And in the final at bat of the season, Kolb got Gary Sheffield to fly out to left field to end the game, the series and the season. Avila completes the sweep, winning game 4 by a score of 8-3. DRAGONS WIN 4-0, 2004 CDBL CHAMPIONS! 2004 CDBL PLAYOFF MVP: When your team ERA in the world series is 2.50, and your team batting average in the world series is .336, everyone is going to be an MVP.
