1987 CDBL PLAYOFFS PREVIEW GEHRIG/TIANT CONFERENCE FINALS Dark Valley Destinies (4-2 over Stars) vs. San Mateo Traffic (101-61) San Mateo was dominant all season long. They competed with Ocean Beach for awhile, but eventually pulled away, and went 14-0 at the end of the season to finish 101-61, the best record in the league. Kirby Puckett had a tremendous year, hitting .314 with 32 homers, 112 runs and 128 RBI's. Tony Fernandez hit .327 with 123 runs scored and 39 stolen bases. Jose Canseco slugged .540 with 33 homers and 104 RBI's. 3B Tim Wallach hit 24 homers with runs/RBI's in the high 90's. Ace Jimmy Key is a likely lock for the Cy this year, throwing 289 innings of 2.77 ERA ball, and led the league in wins with a 22-6 record. Rob Murphy and Mark Eichhorn combined for a 14-10 record with 43 saves and ERA's below 3. Nolan Ryan went 15-9 with 287 strikeouts. Dark Valley survived their playoff series with the Hollywood Stars by giving the Hollywood pitchers a 7.10 ERA as opposed to the Destinies' 5.77. Jack Clark is hitting .350 with 3 homers, 6 runs and 7 RBI's in 5 games. Darryl Strawberry is hitting .385, and the team as a whole is hitting .321 with a .532 slugging average. Most of the pitchers have been hammered, except for ace Ron Guidry (1.72 ERA, 2-0, 8 innings per appearance) and reliever Frank Williams (5.1 innings pitched, 1-0, 0.00 ERA). The Destinies won the season series 5-3, but the Traffic have home field advantage due to their pennant-winning status. GAME ONE -- Destinies (Guidry) at Traffic (Key) Ace against ace. Neither of the high powered hitting lineups could get a run scored until the 5th. In the 5th, Ron Guidry hit a fly ball to Jose Canseco .. who dropped it. Guidry got to 2nd on the error, and scored on a Dave Concepcion single. In the bottom of the 5th, Tim Wallach, Cecil Fielder and Tommy Herr all doubled, scoring the first two batters for a 2-1 Traffic ballgame. In the 6th, the Destinies tied things up on a Steve Henderson single. The Traffic answered right back, when Cecil Fielder blasted a 2-run shot in the 6th. 4-2 Traffic. In the top of the 9th, Key was still on the mound. Steve Henderson hit a 0 out single. Tommy Hinzo flied out. Pinch hitter Larry Parrish singled, putting runners at 1st & 3rd with 1 out and the Destinies down by 2. Mark Eichhorn came on the mound. Tony Bernazard hit into a potential game-ending DP, but beat the throw to first. A runner scores, and it's a 4-3 game, with 2 outs. Conception, the winning run, was at the plate, but couldn't get it done. Dave Conception grounds out to end the game. San Mateo wins a close one, 4-3. TRAFFIC LEADS 1-0.

GAME TWO -- Destinies (Walk) at Destinies (Ryan) Don't Walk, run, to the showers. Bob Walk got rocked early, giving up 4 runs in the first inning, capped by a 2-run shot by Tim Wallach. In the 4th, Howard Johnson led off with a solo homer. Later in the inning, a Darrell Porter single scored Dykstra from 2nd and a Knight groundout let another runner score. 4-3 San Mateo. In the 5th, the Destinies loaded the bases. With 1 out, Dykstra grounded out, letting a runner score. A Nolan Ryan balk would give Dark Valley the lead. 5-4 DVD. In the bottom of the 5th, the Traffic loaded the bases, and Dave Parker gave San Mateo the lead again with a 2-run single. 6-5 Traffic. In the 8th inning, with runners at first and third, Kal Daniels hit into a DP ball .. or it would have had Tony Fernandez not thrown it into left field. A runner scores, and the ballgame is tied at 6. We would go to extra innings. In the top of the 10th, Kal Daniels singled, stole second, and scored on a Willie Randolph single. Pressure was on the Traffic to score a run in the bottom of the inning. Craig Lefferts was on the mound for Dark Valley. Gary Thurman flied out for out #1. Curtis Wilkerson grounded out for #2. Ozzie Virgil? Singled. But it was only a temporary stay of execution, as Juan Bonilla grounded out. Dark Valley wins game 2 by a 7-6 score in 10 innings. SERIES TIED 1-1.

GAME FOUR -- Traffic (Palmer) at Destinies (Drabek) Who wants some? That's what Kirby Puckett's bat said, bashing a 3-run shot in the 3rd inning. Jack put the Destinies on the board with an RBI single in the 5th. The Traffic exploded for 3 more runs in the 6th on a 2-run homer by Tim Wallach and an RBI single by Canseco. But, just like a bad burger, the Destinies kept coming back. Darrell Porter hit an RBI double, and Daniels drove in a couple more with another double. 6-4 Traffic. The Traffic and Destinies traded runs in the 7th to make it a 7-5 ballgame. But, like a bad burger, eventually it stops coming back, and the Traffic pulled away. San Mateo ends up winning game 4 by a score of 10-5, and are now 1 game away from the CDBL world series. TRAFFIC LEADS 3-1.

GAME FIVE -- Traffic (Key) at Destinies (Guidry) Dark Valley needed to win this one to force a game six. In the bottom of the first, Tony Fernandez singled and scored on Brian Dayett's double. Fernandez could have waited, because Kirby Puckett brought everybody home, hitting a 2-run shot. 3-0 Traffic. In the bottom of the 2nd, the Destinies loaded the bases with 0 outs. This was their big chance. Tony Bernazard singled, letting a runner score, but one more runner was thrown out trying to score. Then, Steve Henderson was picked off at 2nd. The inning ended up with only 1 Dark Valley run scored. In the top of the 3rd, Tim Wallach hit an RBI double. 4-1 Traffic. In the bottom of the 3rd, Jack Clark hit a 2-run shot. 4-3 Traffic. The Traffic started to pull away after this. In the 5th, Jose Canseco hit a 2-run homer. In the 7th, Cecil Fielder hit a sacrifice fly, and Dave Valle had an RBI single. The Traffic added insult in injury by scoring 4 more runs in the 8th. 12-3. Darryl Strawberry struck out in the 6th, got frustrated, and got ejected by the umpire. All Strawberry managed to do is beat the traffic out of Dark Valley ... car traffic that is. San Mateo wins game five 12-3, and advance to the CDBL World Series. TRAFFIC WINS 4-1.
