GAME THREE -- Brewins (Willis) at Angry Candy (Beckett). Both of the marquee starters had less than stellar starts, as each allowed 3 runs in the first 5 innings. The Brewins edged ahead in the 6th on a solo shot by Troy Glaus, and added another run in the 7th on a Justin Morneau RBI single. The Angry Candy cut the lead to 1 when the human walk machine, Kevin Youkilis, walked with a 2 out bases loaded situation. But that's all they would get in that inning, as Jason Bay struck out. In the bottom of the 9th, the Candy were still down a run. Joe Beimel was pitching for the Brewins. Chipper Jones grounded out to third for the first out. Jason Bartlett walked, putting the tying run at first. At least for a little while. Bartlett tried to steal second, but was thrown out. Aaron Rowand flied out to right with nobody on base to end the game. The Brewins win their third straight 1-run game by a score of 5-4, and are 1 win away from advancing to the CFOD world series. BREWINS LEAD 3-0. 10/11/2007, BSB06-ANG06, PNC Park 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2006 Brewins 0 2 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 5 9 0 7 1 2006 Angry Candy 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 0 4 9 1 11 1 Brewins AB R H BI D T HR BB K

******************************************************************* GAME FOUR -- Brewins (Hensley) at Angry Candy (Shields). The Brewins were feeling confident heading into game 4. Up 3-0, they were a game away from advancing to their first ever world series. They even scored first, with a solo home run by Corey Patterson. The Candy scored a run in the 4th, but Boston lept ahead in the 5th, scoring 3 runs, 2 by a bases loaded single by Vernon Wells. 4-1 after 4 1/2 innings. In the 5th inning, with 2 outs, Chipper Jones walked. The next batter, Jason Bay, hit a squibbler in front of the plate, which Ramon Hernandez tried to throw to first .. but it sailed way past Justin Morneau. Jones wound up at third, and Bay to second on the error. Felipe Lopez hit a double, driving in both runners and cutting the Boston lead to 1. In the 7th inning, with Todd Helton at first, Chipper Jones doubled, scoring Helton and tying the game up at 4. Jason Bay was at the plate again, and hit a grounder to Bill Hall .. who bobbled it. Bay wound up again at second, and Chipper Jones scored on the error. 5-4 Candy. Felipe Lopez rubbed salt in the wound, again, doubling in Bay. The Candy would go on to win game 4 by a score of 6-4 thanks to 3 unearned runs and Jason Bay's ability to generate bad luck for the Brewins.

After winning game 4, the Candy were looking to make it 2 in a row. They scored first in the 1st inning on a Jason Bay sacrifice fly. In the 5th, with the score still 1-0 and 2 outs in the inning, Vernon Wells singled, Jose Vidro walked and Bill Hall hit an infield single to load the bases. The next batter, Justin Morneu, walked, forcing in a run. Corey Patterson singled, driving in 2 more runs to give Boston a 3-1 lead. Bill Hall hit a solo home run in the 7th to give Boston a 4-1 lead. Boston still had a 3 run lead heading into the bottom of the 9th. Just 3 more outs and they would be in their first ever CFOD world series. Jesse Crain was on in relief. First batter up, Jason Bay, singled. Next batter up, Felipe Lopez, singled. Next batter up, Rickie Weeks, singled, scoring Bay and sent Lopez to third. 4-2 Brewins. Greg Zaun hit a sacrifice fly. 4-3 Brewins, with 1 out. Aaron Rowand hit a pop out to record the second out. 2 outs, runner on first, Candy down by 1. The next batter was pinch hitter Adam Lind. He only had 65 at bats in the regular season, but hit .323. His primo pinch hitting skills were put to good use, as he smacked a base hit, sending Weeks to 3rd. 2 outs, runners at 1st and third, and the Candy season on the line. Next batter up was Matthew LeCroy. LeCroy, who hit .285 with a .378 on base average in the regular season. A single would tie up the game, a double would likely win it. But it was not to be. LeCroy grounded out to third, ending the game. Boston hangs on to win game 5 by a score of 4-3, win the series 4 games to 1, and advance to their first ever appearance in the CFOD world series. BREWINS WIN 4-1. 10/14/2007, BSB06-ANG06, PNC Park 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2006 Brewins 0 0 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 4 11 0 8 1 2006 Angry Candy 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 7 0 7 2 Brewins AB R H BI D T HR BB K
