Landingham). The Mashers were looking to turn the series into a rout, and it started to look like that for the first half of the game, as Manhatten Beach scored single runs in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th innings to put them up 4-1 after 6. In the bottom of the 7th, with 0 outs and runners at second and third, Benji Gil hit a line ball to Mark McGwire, who couldn't quite handle it. Error to the first baseman, and a Thunder run scored. Chris Jones hit a sacrifice fly to cut Manhatten Beach's lead to 1. With Steve Reed on the mound, the Thunder struck again in the 8th, loading the bases with 1 out. Rickey Gutierrez hit a grounder to the pitcher, who forced Mike Piazza at home to prevent a run scoring. Then, with 2 outs, Chris Jones hit a single up the middle, scoring 2 runs and gave the Thunder a 5-4 lead. Kevin Jarvis pitched the bottom of the 9th for the Thunder, nursing a 1 run lead. First batter up, pinch hitter George Williams. Fly out to left. Next up, Tim Naehring. Line out to left. With 2 outs, it was up to Paul O'Neill to generate some offense. Did not happen. Bernard Gilkey got a workout in the outfield, catching his 3rd out of the inning. Tualatin wins game 3 by a score of 5-4. MASHERS LEAD 2-1. 10/11/1995, MBM95-TUA95, Kauffman Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1995 Mashers 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 4 9 2 8 0 1995 Thunder 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 2 x 5 8 1 8 3 Mashers AB R H BI D T HR BB

Jason Bates got things off to a rousing start for Manhatten Beach, hitting a leadoff triple and then scoring on Tim Naehring's single. They would pound out 3 more runs in the next 2 innings to give them a 4-1 lead. A Rickey Jordan home run in the 4th cut the Masher lead to 2, but the Mashers broke it open in the 6th, scoring 4 runs led by a 2-RBI single by Tony Eusebio. The Thunder would score 3 more runs by the 8th inning, but it looked like Manhatten Beach was going to win it, leading 8-5 heading into the bottom of the 9th. Rickey Bottalico was on the mound for the Mashers in the bottom of the 9th with a 3 run lead. The first batter up, Mike LaValliere, grounded out. The next batter, Rickey Gutierrez, singled. Carlos Rodriguez followed by a walk, and Vince Coleman loaded the bases with a single. Representing the winning run at the plate was Bernard Gilkey. Single. Gutierrez scored from third, and the Manhatten Beach lead is cut to 2, with the bases loaded and 1 out. Up next was Jeff Bagwell. Would Bagwell be the hero of the day? Not today, as he struck out for out #2. Now it was up to Mike Piazza. A single could tie it up. But it was not to be. Piazza popped out to second base, ending the game with the bases loaded. Manhatten Beach hangs on to win game 4 by a score of 8-6, and are a win away from advancing to the conference finals. MASHERS LEAD 3-1. 10/12/1995, MBM95-TUA95, Kauffman Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1995 Mashers 1 2 1 0 0 4 0 0 0 8 9 0 14 0 1995 Thunder 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 1 6 12 2 7 1 Mashers AB R H BI D T HR

FIVE -- Mashers (Ritz) at Thunder (Avery). The Thunder came out swinging, scoring 2 runs in the first on hits by Bernard Gilkey and Mike Piazza. The Mashers swung back, putting 3 runs up on the board in the 2nd on a Ding Dong home run by Jerome Walton, and scored 3 more over the next 2 innings to give Manhatten Beach the 6-2 lead. And that's the way the score would remain for the rest of the game. Kevin Ritz held the Thunder in check, going the distance for a complete game. Manhattean Beach wins game 5 by a score of 6-2, and advance to the conference finals.
