Finals - Dark Valley Destinies (Tudor) at Topeka Stingers (Ojeda) GAME ONE -- The Destinies and Stingers put out their best pitchers for game one, and it showed. Neither team could get anything going in the run department until the 6th inning. In the top of the 1st with Jack Clark at first base, Danny Tartabull hit a grounder into right field. Clark ran past 2nd base to go to third. Stingers outfielder Mike Young tried to throw Clark out, but the ball sailed over George Brett's head. Clark scores, and Tartabull moves into scoring position. With Tartabull still on 2nd base, Tony Walker hit a single. Tartabull scores from 2nd. While the Stingers were trying to throw Tartabull out at home, Walker moves into scoring position. I sense a trend here. Still in the 6th inning and Walker on 2nd, Buddy Bell hits a single. Walker scores from 2nd, and while the Stingers try to throw Walker out at home, Bell moves into scoring position. 3-0 Destinies. Luckily for Topeka, that's all the damage the Destinies did in the 6th. Problem is, Dark Valley wasn't done yet. In the 7th, Jack Clark smacked a solo tater. In the 9th inning, Ron Roenicke hit an RBI single for a 5-0 game. All this time John Tudor has been on the mound, shutting the Stingers offense down. Tudor ends up with the 5-0 win, and notches a 4-hit shutout. DESTINIES LEAD 1-0.

Finals - Destinies (Dravecky) Stingers (Leibrandt) GAME SIX -- It was do or die time for Topeka. The Stingers had to win this one to force a game seven. Dark Valley was eager to put Topeka away, and would score the first runs of the game in the 4th. Jim Wohlford hit an RBI triple, and subsequently scored on a Buddy Bell sacrifice fly. Topeka would score a run in the bottom of the 4th inning when Don Mattingly hit a sacrifice fly to score Kevin Bass. We now move to the bottom of the 9th, the score still tied at 2-1. Closer Donnie Moore has been put into multiple pressure cooker situations before, and so far has saved 4 of 4 games. With 0 outs, Scott Fletcher singled, and was replaced by pinch runner Oddibe McDowell. Kevin Bass flied out for the first out of the inning. Next up was Steve Buechele, who singled, moving McDowell to third. After that, it was Don Mattingly to the plate, who is the current post-season leader in RBI with 12. A single would tie up the game, but 'twas not to be. Mattingly flies out to Wohlford, but Buechele was a little too quick in getting to second base before having to get back to first. Wohlford throws to Jack Clark at first base for the final out. Dark Valley wins game six by a 2-1 score, and clinch the GT conf. finals in 6 games. Dark Valley advances to the CDBL World Series to face the Point Lomas Friars. DESTINIES WIN 4-2.
