Down 0-3, California was in a must-win situation. And the Mudfish were eager to go for the sweep. Which team would get their wish? In the top of the 2nd, Placido Polanco hit a 1 out double to center field. The next batter, Reggie Willits, hit a double as well, scoring Polanco. Scott Rolen hit an infield single, moving Willits to third. With runners at first and third, Omar Vizquel hit a grounder to third. The ball went home, but Willits got there first. 2-0 ballgame, 1 out. With 2 outs and runners at second and third, Barry Bonds singled, scoring another run. 3-0 Mudfish. Missouri would score 2 more in the 3rd on a 2-run shot by Willits. In the bottom of the third inning, California put themselves on the board. With 0 outs and a runner at second, Abraham Nunez singled, scoring Luis Castillo. The next batter, Dave Roberts, doubled, moving Nunez to third. Maicir Izturis grounded out, but Nunez scored anyways. 5-2 Mudfish. In the 5th inning, the Mudfish scored two more with a Willits single and Rolen sacrifice fly. The teams would trade a run over the next inning, and the game score would read 8-3 heading into the bottom of the 9th. Down 5 runs with the season on the line, California had to pull out a miracle. Missouri was just 3 outs away from the championship. Joaquin Benoit was pitching for the Mudfish. First batter up, Dave Roberts, flied out to right. 1 out. Next batter, Maicir Izturis grounded out. 2 outs. 1 more out for California to extend the season. It was all up to Victor Martinez to keep hope alive. And that's what he did. Home run, good bye! It was now a 4-run lead with 2 outs. Next up to the plate was Jason Giambi. Would Giambi be able to continue the streak? Not this year. On a 3-2 pitch, Jason Giambi struck out, ending the game, series, and season. The Missouri Mudfish sweep the Coneheads, winning game 4 by a score of 8-4 and clinch their first ever CFOD championship. MUDFISH WIN 4-0, 2007 CFOD CHAMPS! 2007 PLAYOFF MVP: So many stellar performances from the Mudfish this post-season. Closr JJ Putz saved 4 games in 6 appearances, giving up no runs and just 1 hit in 9 innings of work. Starters Brandon Webb, Javier Vazquez and Erik Bedard combined to go 7-2 in 13 starts with ERA's below 2.5. Barry Bonds hit .322 with a .431 on base average and 17 runs scored in 15 games. But the playoff MVP this yera goes to Albert Pujols, who hit .338 with a .631 slugging average, 5 home runs, 11 runs scored and 16 RBI. Pujols could be counted on game in and game out to perform. 10/10/2008, MIS07-CAL07, Angel Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2007 Mudfish 0 3 2 0 2 1 0 0 0 8 12 1 8 0 2007 Coneheads 0 0 2 0 1 0 0
