THREE -- Muckrakers (Lieber) at Mashers (Sabathia). After dropping the first 2 games at home, Madison was hoping their offense would wake up on the road. In the bottom of the 4th, Damian Miller was hit by a pitch, and JD Drew doubled to put runners at 2nd & 3rd. With 1 out, David Ortiz got the walk to load the bases. Lieber struck out Marcus Giles for out #2, but issued another walk to Rafael Furcal, forcing in the first Mashers run of the game. Brad Hawpe hit a single, scoring another runner for a 2-0 Manhatten Beach lead. In the top of the 6th inning with a runner on, Andruw Jones hit his first home run of the post-season, a 2-run shot to tie the game up at 2. In the 8th, David Wright connected on a solo home run off of reliever Matt Wise. 3-2 Muckrakers. Randy Flores pitched the bottom of the 9th for Madison, and retired Hawpe, pinch hitter Luis Matos and Brian McCann in a 1-2-3 inning for the save. Madison wins game 3 by a score of 3-2.

******************************************************************* GAME FOUR -- Muckrakers (Loaiza) at Mashers (Smoltz). A big game for both teams, a win by each team would dramatically swing the momentum of the series. In the 1st inning, David Wright connected on another solo home run, putting Madison up 1-0. In the 3rd inning with a runner on, Coco Crisp got into the home run action, a 2-run blast for a 3-0 Madison lead. The Muckraker continued to pour in runs in the 4th with an RBI double from Jimmy Rollins and an RBI single from pitcher Esteban Loaiza. 5-0 Madison after 3 1/2 innings. Perhaps the Muckrakers got a bit overconfidient, as in the bottom of the 4th the Loaiza loaded the bases with 0 outs. Loaiza got Willy Taveras to pop out and John Smoltz to strike out, but the Mashers scored their first runs of the game with a 2-RBI single from Damian Miller. JD Drew followed up with a 2-RBI triple. The Muckraker lead was down to a single run, 5-4 ballgame. In the 5th inning, David Oritz hit a solo home run to tie the game up at 5. The game remained tied at 5 heading into the bottom of the 7th. Loaiza was still pitching for Madison. After getting Morgan Ensberg to ground out and David Ortiz to strike out, Marcus Giles singled. Loaiza was done for the game, and on came Neal Cotts in relief. Cotts walked the next 2 batters to load the bases. Pinch hitter Luis Matos came through big-time, clearing the bases with a 3-RBI double. 8-5 Mashers, with 7 of their runs happening with 2 outs and the bases loaded across 2 innings. Andruw Jones connected on a solo home run off Matt Wise in the 8th to close the gap to 2 runs. Wise continued to pitch in the top of the 9th. All of the batters failed to get the ball out of the catcher's box, as John Buck struck out, Coco Crisp popped out to the catcher and Jason Michaels struck out to end the game. Manhatten Beach overcomes a 5 run deficit to win game 4 by a score of 8-6, and are a win away from advancing to the AP Conference Finals. MASHERS LEAD 3-1. 10/12/2005, MAD05-MBM05, Angel Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2005 Muckrakers 1 0 2 2 0 0 0 1 0 6 9 0 5 0 2005 Mashers 0 0 0 4 1 0 3 0 x 8 14 0 9 0 Muckrakers AB R H BI D T

Down 1-3 in the series, Madison needed to win this one to send it back home. Manhatten Beanch could advance to the conference finals with a victory. In the top of the 1st the Muckrakers got to Jorge Sosa early when Felipe Lopez walked, moved to third on a David Wright double and scored on a wild pitch. David DeJesus hit a sacrifice fly, making it 2-0 Madison after 1 inning. In the bottom of the 2nd with 2 on and 1 out, Willy Taveras hit a grounder to Jimmy Rollins, who bobbled the ball. Error to the shortstop, and the bases were loaded. Aaron Harang managed to walk Jorge Sosa on a 3-2 pitch, forcing in a run. Damian Miller singled, scoring another run to tie up the game. Frank Catalanotto hit a sacrifice fly, putting the Mashers up 3-2, with 2 of those runs unearned. In the 3rd inning, Coco Crisp hit a leadoff double, moved to third on a Lopez ground out, and scored on a Wright base hit. 3-3 tie ballgame. Both starters would pitch 6 innings, each giving up 3 runs. The game would be decided by the bullpen. In the bottom of the 7th inning, closer Brian Fuentes was pitching for the Muckrakers. Damian Miller hit a leadoff single, and with 1 out Morgan Ensberg drove him in with an RBI triple. Mashers take a 4-3 lead. In the 8th, with Fuentes still pitching, Rafael Furcal hit a leadoff triple and scored on a base hit RBI from pinch hitter Dustan Mohr. Mohr advanced 90 feed on a ground out from Willy Taveras and scored on a single from JD Drew. Not Fuentes' best effort, allowing 3 runs in 2 innings. The Mashers would head to the top of the 9th with a 6-3 lead, 3 outs away from advancing to the AP Conference Finals. Cliff Politte started the 9th for the Mashers, making his first post-season appearance. After giving up a single to Jimmy Rollins, Politte was pulled in favor of closer Chad Cordero. Cordero got Richie Sexson to fly out to right field for the first out of the inning. Brian Schneider nearly hit into a double play ball, but was able to make it safely to first. Still, 2 outs. The Muckrakers season now depended on pinch hitter Scott Rolen. The Mashers had the Muckrakers' number in the regular season, and that applied to the playoffs as well, as Rolen lined out to short to end the game and the Muckrakers season. The Manhatten Beach Mashers win game 5 by a score of 6-3 to win their first round series and advance to the AP Conference Finals. MASHERS WIN 4-1. 10/14/2005, MAD05-MBM05, Angel Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2005 Muckrakers 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 6 1 6 1 2005 Mashers 0 3 0 0 0 0 1 2 x 6 12 0 8 0 Muckrakers AB R H BI D T HR
