The 2nd run of the game happened in the top of the 9th inning, when Andruw Jones singled, stole second, and scored on a single by Royce Clayton. Meanwhile, Roger Bailey was working on a 5-hit shutout. Jorge Posada started off the inning with a single, putting the tying run at the plate. Reggie Sanders grounded out, advancing Posada to second. Jose Valentin struck out (and argued with the ump, resulting in an ejection!). 2 outs. Now it was up to pinch hitter Tim Naehring. But Naehring would not come through, flying out to right field. Madison wins game 2 by a score of 2-0.

The last game to be played at Madison this series, it features the return of both staff aces. In the top of the 2nd, Arkham got an early lead thanks to a solo home run by Ken Griffey Jr. In the bottom of the 7th, with Arkham still up 1-0, Ivan Rodrigeuz hit a solo shot to tie up the game at 1. Arkham had a chance to do some damage in the top of the 8th, when they loaded the bases with 1 out. Mike Stanton was pitching for the Muckrakers. Reggie Sanders hit a grounder to first, where Wally Joyner threw the ball to home plate to prevent the run from scoring. 2 outs. Then, inexplicably, Ken Griffey Jr. was pulled in favor of pinch hitter Charlie O'Brien. O'Brien flied out to end the inning with the game still tied at 1. We would go to extra innings. The Muckrakers found themselves with a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the 10th inning. Eric Anthony singled and Dave Hollins walked with 0 outs. The next batter, Mike Sweeney, singled, scoring Anthony and winning the game. Madison wins game 5 by a score of 2-1 in 10 innings, and are a win away from advancing to the CDBL world series.

SEVEN -- Muckrakers (Wakefield) at Investigators (Reed). The stakes were high for both teams. Whoever won this game would earn the ticket to the CDBL world series. Arkham broke out in front in the bottom of the first, when Reggie Sanders smashed a 3-run homer. In the 4th inning, home runs by Jose Valentin, Rick Reed (!), and a 2-run shot by Joe Randa made it 7-0. The Muckrakers would never recover. Arkham blows out the Muckrakers by a score of 12-1, and advance to the CDBL world series.
