A game of firsts. In the top of the first, Jack Clark, Lou Whitaker and Darryl Strawberry reached base, loading them with 0 outs. Howard Johnson lined out, but no runners were able to advance. Junior Felix grounded out, and a runner scored. Terry Kennedy singled to make it 2-0 Destinies. In the bottom of the inning, Jody Reed had an infield hit, and Shawon Dunston doubled. George Brett hit a sacrifice fly to make it 2-1 Destinies. Glenn Davis singled to tie things up at 2. In the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th innings, the Maul hit solo shots to give them a 5-2 lead. Drabek lasted 3 innings. In the 5th, George Brett walked and Hubie Brooks was hit by a pitch (his 2nd of the game). George Brett grounded out, advancing the runners to 2nd & 3rd. Barry Lyons singled, scoring a run. 6-2 Maul. Travis Fryman singled, scoring a run. 7-2 Maul. The Destinies scored twice in the 7th, but the game was still 7-4 in Albuquerque's favor. This was the first time in the post-season that the Maul had led a playoff game after 7 innings. The Maul would go into the top of the 9th with a 3 run lead. Gregg Olson was on the mound. First batter up, Lou Whitaker, singled. Darryl Strawberry struck out. 1 out. Howard Johnson walked. 2 runners on, 1 out. Junior Felix was next at bat, and hit a grounder to Jody Reed .. who bobbled it. Bases loaded, 1 out. Terry Kennedy hit an infield single, scoring a run. 7-5. That was the first run Gregg Olson had allowed in the post-season. Up next was Dave Henderson. Game ending DP? Strikeout? Nope. Henderson gave the Destinies the lead, parking the ball over the wall for a grand slam home run. 9-7 Destinies. The stunned Maul went into the bottom of the 9th inning down by 2 runs. Rick Honeycutt was pitching. Jamie Quirk grounded out. Hubie Brooks was hit by a pitch for the third time this game. Honeycutt was pulled, and on came Greg Harris, who was responsible for both Destinies losses this series. Next batter up, Glenn Davis, flied out. 2 outs. It was now up to pinch hitter Jesse Barfield. A homer would tie it up. Wasn't going to happen. Albuquerque's late inning heroics would not happen in this game. Barfield flied out, ending game five and notching Harris's first save. Dark Valley comes from behind to win game five by a score of 9-7, and are 1 game away from advancing to the CDBL world series.

For the Maul and Destinies, their long seasons came down to a one-game, winner goes to the world series contest. In the top of the 2nd, Rance Mulliniks walked, Brian Harper singled, and John Smoltz walked to load the bases with 2 outs. Jody Reed was at bat, but failed to drive any runners in, grounding out to short. In the bottom of the 2nd, Dave Henderson walked, and Jeff King put the first Destinies runs on the board with a 2-run shot. In the 4th, Rance Mulliniks walked, Brian Harper was hit by a pitch, and John Smoltz walked to load the bases yet again with 2 outs, with Jody Reed again at the plate. Fly out, no runners score, game still 2-0 Destinies. Dark Valley scored again in the 6th. Darryl Strawberry hit a clunker towards Hubie Brooks, who misplayed it. Strawberry wound up at 2nd on the error. Howard Johnson flied out, moving Strawberry to 3rd. A wild pitch scored the runner, 3-0 Destinies. Albuquerque scored their first run in the 7th, when pinch hitter Herm Winningham took Erickson deep with a solo dinger. 3-1 Destinies. In the 8th inning, Darryl Strawberry took advantage of the Maul defense again. Sam Horn couldn't handle his ground ball, and Strawberry was safe at first on the error. HoJo singled, moving Strawberry to 3rd. Junior Felix grounded out, allowing Strawberry to score again. 4-1 Dark Valley. Greg Harris was on the mound to close things out in the 9th inning for Dark Valley. His 0-2 start seemed like so long ago, but troubles of the past have a way of coming back. The first batter up, pinch hitter Tommy Gregg, walked. Travis Fryman flied out for out #1. Up next was Jody Reed, who had left 6 runners on base this game. Would Reed be the hero? Not this series .. he was pulled for pinch hitter Ron Oester. Oester proceeded to hit into a game and series ending double play. Dark Valley overcomes their 0-2 series start to win game 7 by a score of 4-1, and advance to the CDBL world series.
