PREVIEW - CONFERENCE FINALS CINCINNATI KINGS vs. OREGON WET SOX The Kings have some momentum going into this series, having defeated the Mantle division pennant winning Dogs 4 games to 1. The King's offense appears to be in high gear, with Juan Samuel, Fred McGriff, Sandy Alomar and Jeffrey Hammonds providing the big bats. The Wet Sox enjoyed their most successful season to date, led by the record-shattering performance of Jeff Bagwell. With teammates Carlos Baerga, Travis Fryman and Larry Walker, the Wet Sox have plenty of marquee names to fill the seats. And their pitching staff, filled with names like Ken Hill, Aaron Sele & Steve Trachsel are not half bad either. The Wet Sox do have some cause for concern in facing the Kings. Despite scoring more runs and having a lower ERA in the regular season than the Kings, the Kings dominated the Wet Sox in the series played between them, winning the series 9 games to 3. GAME ONE -- Mussina (Kings) vs. Ken Hill (Wet Sox), at Wet Sox. It appeared in the early stages of game one that this would be a pitcher's duel. The first run wasn't scored until the top of the 3rd, when Hammonds singled in Mussina to give the Kings an early 1-0 lead. The Kings increased their lead by one in the next inning when Alomar scored on a fielder's choice by Weiss. The Wet Sox struck back in the bottom of the 6th by a Jeff Bagwell tater. The Kings responded in the top of the 7th on a tater by Jeffrey Hammonds. Then the sherbert really hit the fan in the top of the 8th, when the Kings ran up 6 runs on the Wet Sox, highlighted by 2-run hits by Frye and Samuel, to lead to a final score of Kings 9, Wet Sox 1. KINGS LEAD SERIES 1-0.

The Kings were on a roll, getting a quick 2-0 lead in the 2nd on a Sandy Alomar homer. The Wet Sox made it competitive in the 4th on a Bagwell tater, and tied it up in the 7th on an Ozzie Smith double. Neither team would score again until the top of the 11th, when Bagwell homered again, and Glenallen Hill had an RBI double. The Eck finished off the Kings to give the Wet Sox a 4-2 win in extra innings. SERIES TIED 1-1.

The Wet Sox immediately took over the lead in the bottom of the first on a 2-RBI Fryman double. The Wet Sox increased their lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the 4th on a Glenallen Hill homer. The Kings narrowed the lead to 1 in the top of the 7th on a bases loaded walk by Andy Benes, but that was all the Kings could muster in the inning. In the bottom of the 7th, the Wet Sox made it 4-2 on a Baerga sacrifice fly. They would need the extra run, because in the top of the 9th, Ellis Burks drove in Juan Samuel to make it 4-3. But the Kings could do no more, as the Eck finished the Kings off again to make the 4-3 score final as the Wet Sox took a 2-1 series lead. WET SOX LEAD 2-1.

At Kings. You can't stop Jeffrey Hammonds, you can only hope to contain him. That was the theme of this game, and the Wet Sox couldn't even do the latter. Hammonds started his hit-parade in the bottom of the first with a 3-run shot. Hammonds increased his RBI totals to 5 in the bottom of the 2nd with a 2 run double. By the time the bottom of the 8th rolled around it was never in doubt that the Kings would win this one. But Jeffrey Hammonds wanted to rub it in, and razzed the Wet Sox with another 3 run homer to make it 13-3, and gave Hammonds 8 RBI on the night. SERIES TIED 2-2.

At Wet Sox. The Wet Sox were hoping that game four was a horrible, horrible deviation from what was to come in game five, but it was to be the norm. The Kings continued their devastating onslaught on Wet Sox pitching. The Kings struck early in the 2nd inning, with an Alomar tater, and Mussina and Owen RBI singles to make it 3-0 Kings. The Wet Sox tried to make a comeback in the bottom of the 4th on a Glenallen Hill homer, but it was to be their only run of the night. But the Kings were not done yet. In the top of the 5th, Alomar had a 3-run triple, and Hollins had a 2-run tater. In the 7th McGriff knocked in 2 more with a dinger. Hollins rubbed some more salt into the already big Wet Sox wound with 2 more runs knocked it. The Wet Sox got some solace in that Hollins was thrown out trying to make it into a triple. But that's all the solace they got, as the Kings hammered the Wet Sox 12-1 to take a 3-2 series lead. KINGS LEAD 3-2.

At Kings. The Wet Sox were looking to avert a 2-game skid, as a 3-game skid would mean they were out of the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Kings could sense victory, and a 1st ever trip to the CFOD world series. The fans in Cincinnati went wild in the bottom of the first, when Juan Samuel and Fred McGriff each had RBI's. But the roar went to a murmer in the top of the 4th, when the Wet Sox took back the lead on a solo homer by Baerga and a 2-run homer by Walker. The Kings scored once in the bottom of the 6th on a Samuel homer to tie it up, giving fans of both teams an anxiety attack. But the tension was broken in the 7th, when barely-part time starter Joe Hall ended the tie with a 2-run homer. To add yet more cheers to the joyful Kings dugout, catcher Sandy Alomar put more icing on the cake with a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8th, as the wild-card winning Kings, having no home field advantage whatsoever, have made it to the CFOD world series, winning game six 8-3 and winning the series 4 games to 2. KINGS WIN 4-2.
