Wade Boggs has been the man so far, hitting .353 with 11 runs, 6 RBI and 3 homers in 7 games. George Bell has hit 3 homers and driven in 10, including a game-winning extra-innings grand slam. 3rd starter Charlie Puleo has put together two strong pitching performances in the playoffs, averaging 7 innings and a 3.77 ERA. The Flames put the Trout away in 6 games, and currently have the best post-season ERA (3.57). 4th starter Bill Wegman posted a complete game shutout in his only start. Closer Tim Burke is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA (Burke has *gasp* given up a run in the post-season). Mike Schmidt is hitting .444 with a .630 on base average, 6 runs and 7 RBI. 2B Marty Barrett is hitting .458 with 6 runs scored. Arkham won the season series 5-3, but Fargo has home field advantage due to their pennant winning status. GAME ONE -- Investigators (Darling) at Flames (Dunne) Both starters pitched well early on.

In the top of the 5th, the Investigators loaded the bases with 1 out. George Bell hit an RBI single. 4-2 Fargo.

In the 2nd, Ken Phelps drove in the first run with a double, and Steve Jeltz singled in Phelps for a 2-0 Arkham game. In the 4th, Dave Martinez doubled in a run and Boggs drove in another for a 4-0 game. Jim Clancy lasted 3 2/3 innings, giving up 4 runs. In the 7th, George Bell homered off of Tim Burke (egads! What happened to Burke?). 5-0 Arkham. In the bottom of the 8th, Mike Schmidt started a Fargo rally with an infield single RBI. With runners at 1st & 3rd, Greg Brock hit into a DP, but a runner scored anyways. 5-2 Arkham. In the top of the 9th, with Henke on the mound, Andres Galarraga tripled and scored on a groundout by Jose Uribe. But that's all the offense Fargo could muster. Arkham takes game two by a score of 5-3. INVESTIGATORS LEAD 2-0.

GAME THREE -- Flames (Youmans) at Investigators (Puleo) The Flames got into trouble early. A Jose Uribe throwing error let Alfredo Griffen get to first with 2 outs, loading the bases. Dave Martinez walked to force in the first run of the game. Alan Ashby walked to force in another run. 2-0 Arkham. Wade Boggs completed the "pseudo grand slam" with a 2-RBI single. All unearned. In the bottom of the 3rd, Kirk Gibson tripled, and was driven in by Griffen. 5-0. The Flames scored a few runs in the 4th & 5th, but it was too little too late. The dynamic duo of Wade Boggs and George Bell scored 3 runs and drove in 5 as Arkham takes game 3 by a score of 8-2. Arkham is just 1 game away from advancing to the CDBL world series.

GAME FOUR -- Flames (Wegman) at Investigators (Black) The Flames were in a must win situation. Andres Galarrage knew the Flames were in a must win situation. He hit a 3-run shot in the 1st inning. Jose Uribe knew too, and hit an BI double. 4-0 Flames after 1. In the 3rd, George Bell hit an RBI single. In the 4th, with runners at 1st & 3rd, Alfredo Griffen hit a come-backer to the mound. Wegman gets it, and makes the easy throw to 1st .. or not. Galarraga can't handle the ball, and a runner scores on the error. Bud Black hit an RBI single, making it a 4-3 game, 2 Arkham runs unearned. Fargo would not go quietly, scoring 4 more runs in the 5th on 2-RBI singles by Galarraga and Rick Cerone. 8-3 Fargo. Yet there's no "off" switch in the Investigator offense. In the bottom of the 5th, Kirk Gibson hit a sacrifice fly, and Ken Phelps hit a 2-run homer to make it an 8-6 Fargo game. That's all that Arkham would get today, as Fargo scores a few more runs in the 6th-8th innings, and Matt Young retires the Investigator batters 1-2-3 in the 9th. Fargo wins game 4 by a score of 11-6 and live another day. IVESTIGATORS LEAD 3-1.

GAME FIVE -- Flames (Dunne) at Investigators (Darling) Yet another must-win game for Fargo. They certainly started off good, loading the bases with 0 outs, and having Greg Brock walk, forcing in a run. Then, Fred Lynn hit a 2-RBI double. 3-0 Fargo. In the 2nd, Marty Barrett drove in a run with a single. 4-0 Fargo. In the 3rd, Jose Uribe knocked in another run with a single. 5-0 Fargo. Arkham finally gets on the board in the bottom of the 3rd with an Alan Ashby solo dinger, but Fargo just kept piling it on. Jose "Canseco who?" Uribe went 4 for 4 with 4 RBI's as the Flames pound Arkham 9-2, and go back to Fargo for game 6. INVESTIGATORS LEAD 3-2.

GAME SIX -- Investigators (Forsch) at Flames (Clancy) The Flames went back to their home field to face off against Arkham in game six. In the top of the first, Wade Boggs hit into a fielder's choice.. and that fielder's choice was to try and throw the runner out at home. Didn't happen, and Boggs winds up safe and Arkham scores the first run of the game. George Bell hit an RBI double for a 2-0 game. In the top of the 3rd, Wade Boggs tripled and scored on a George Bell single. Bell scored on a Ken Phelps single. Eventually Alfredo Griffen hit into a DP, but with 0 outs a runner scored from 3rd anyways. 5-0 Arkham. Jim Clancy lasted just 2 innings, giving up 5 runs. In the 4th, George Bell hit an RBI single. 6-0 Arkham. There were a few Fargo fans still hopeful that the Flames could mount a comeback, but they were silenced later in the inning when Ken Phelps hit a grand slam. 10-0 Arkham. By this point the Flames players had to play for themselves. Fred Lynn actually hit a grand slam of his own in the 7th, but it was too little too late. Tim Burke pitched a scoreless top of the 9th for the Flames, and got a standing ovation afterwards for his great season. Arkham wins game six by a score of 10-5, and win the conference finals series 4 games to 2. Arkham advances to the CDBL world series. ARKHAM WINS 4-2.
