Ubaldo Jimenez started off the 2010 CDBL World Series by issuing a leadoff walk to Carl Crawford. Jimenez erased his mistake, picking him off for the first out of the series. Jimenez then got into trouble, loading the bases with 1 out. Nick Markakis hit a line out, scoring a runner to put Madison up 1-0. Jimenez escaped the inning by getting Matt Wieters to ground out. 1-0 Madison after 1/2 an inning. In the bottom of the 1st with 2 outs, James Loney doubled. Will Venable smacked a base hit, scoring Loney to tie the game up at 1. In the 3rd, Jimenez got into trouble yet again, loading the bases with 1 out with Markakis at the plate. Markakis had a good eye, getting the bases loaded walk to score a Madison run. Matt Wieters followed up with a fly out, scoring another runner to put Madison up 3-1 after 3 innings. The Caution chipped away at the lead in the 4th with a solo home run by Nick Hundley. In the bottom of the 8th inning, with both starters out of the game, Will Venable tied it up with a solo home run. 3-3 ballgame heading into the 9th inning.

******************************************************************* GAME THREE -- Caution (Marcum) at Muckrakers (Danks). With the next set of games switching to Madison, the Muckrakers took advantage of home turf. In the bottom of the 3rd, Denard Span doubled, moved to third on a Brendan Ryan sacrifice bunt and scored on a sacrifice fly from John Danks. In the bottom of the 5th, Denard Span hit a single, then Brendan Ryan brought them both home with a 2-run homer. 3-0 Madison after 5. Danks ran into a bit of trouble in the top of the 6th, loading the bases with 1 out. Hanley Ramirez hit a sacrifice fly to score a run for Alphavile. But Danks would get out of the inning without further issue, getting Will Rhymes to ground out to end the inning. The Muckrakers added an insurance run in the 8th, setting Muckrakers closer Brian Wilson up for a 1-2-3 9th. Madison wins their first game of the 2010 CDBL World Series by a score of 4-1.

In the top of the 6th, up 3-0, Piniero gave up a single to Josh Thole and a walk to Alexi Casilla. Up came pinch hitter Kevin Youkilis. Youkilis was really effective as a pinch hitter in game 1, hitting a game winning home run, and continued the trend, smashing a 3-run home run. Suddenly the game was tied at 3. Piniero was done for the game. With 2 outs, the Caution made it 5-3 Alphaville with back to back solo home runs by James Loney and Will Venable. Madison cut the lead to 1 in the bottom of the 6th when Orlando Hudson singled, moved to 2nd on a balk by reliever Wilton Lopez and scored on a base hit by Matt Pagnozzi. 5-4 Alphaville after 6. The score remained 5-4 Caution heading into the bottom of the 9th. Matt Guerrier was pitching for the Caution, just 3 outs away from going up 3-1 in the series. First batter up, Daric Barton, singled to put the tying run at first. Up to the plate came pinch hitter Matt Stairs, the 42-year old veteran. Stairs, the 17th round draft pick for the Muckrakers who had not had 500 at bats in a years since 1999. Stairs, who hit 6 home runs in 88 at bats this year. Stairs, who would hit a 2-2 pitch over the right field wall for the game winning 2-run home run to end the game in dramatic fashion. Madison wins game 4 at home in the last at bat by a score of 6-5 to tie up the series.

******************************************************************* GAME FIVE -- Caution (Jimenez) at Muckrakers (Hernandez). The series was tied at 2 and the final game of the season at Madison would determine who had the inside track at becoming the 2010 CDBL Champions. In the top of the 2nd, Will Venable put the Caution out in front with a solo home run. That was most of the offense for the game, as just 5 total hits would be given up by Ubaldo Jimenez and Felix Hernandez through 8 innings. The score remained 1-0 Caution heading into the bottom of the 9th. Craig Breslow was pitching for Alphaville. First batter up, Daric Baron, grounded out. Ryan Zimmerman singled and was replaced on the basepaths by Darwin Barney. After Nick Markakis struck out, Breslow gave up a single to pinch hitter Matt Pagnozzi and a walk to Denard Span to load the bases with 2 outs. Brandon Lyon came on in relief to face Ramon Santiago. On a 3-2 pitch, Lyon threw a ball, walking Santiago to force in a run and tie the game up at 1. The game would go into extra innings. In the top of the 10th, Muckrakers closer Brian Wilson was on the mound, and retired Josh Thole, Manny Ramirez and Omar Infante in order. In the bottom of the 10th, Alphaville closer Matt Guerrier was pitching with a 1-1 tie game. Leadoff hitter Carl Crawford singled. Orlando Hudson singled, putting 2 runners on with 0 outs. Next up was Barton. Barton hit a lash to right field towards Will Venable .. who watched the ball roll between his legs. Error to the outfielder, and Crawford barreled his way around 3rd base to score the winning run. Madison wins the extra innings battle by a score of 2-1, and are a win away from winning the 2010 CDBL Championship.

Kevin Youkilis hit a grounder to Brendan Ryan, who couldn't field it. Error to the shortstop and runners were safe at first and second with 0 outs. James Loney grounded out, advancing the runners 90 feet. Drew Stubbs grounded out, scoring Manny Ramirez. After Will Venable walked, Nick Hundley singled, scoring Youkilis to put Alphaville up 4-1 after 1 inning. The Muckrakers cut into the lead in the 6th, when David Wright hit a solo home run and pinch hitter Ryan Zimmerman hit a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 1. But the Caution would only extend their lead, scoring once in the bottom of the 6th with a Will Rhymes RBI and 2 more runs in the 7th on back to back solo home runs by James Loney and Drew Stubbs. 7-3 Alphaville after 7. The Muckrakers would get a 1 out double by Matt Pagnozzi in the top of the 9th but that's as close as Madison would get. Alphaville wins game 6 by a score of 7-3 to even up the series. The winner of game 7 will be the 2010 CDBL Champions.

This was it. 1944 regular season games between 24 teams, 31 playoff games for 8 teams leading to the world series, and 6 games between the final two teams to provide a winner take all game 7 for the 2010 CDBL World Series. In the top of the 4th, Ryan Zimmerman cracked a grounder to Will Rhymes, who couldn't field it. Error to the second baseman, and Zimmerman was safe at second with a base hit and a base advance on the error. Nick Markakis grounded out, moving Zimmerman to 3rd. With 1 out, Matt Wieters grounded out, scoring Zimmerman to put the Muckrakers up 1-0. In the 7th, Carl Crawford made it 2-0 Madison with a solo home run. In the 9th, John Danks (still pitching!) got a 1 out single, and Carl Crawford came through again with a 2-run blast. 4-0 Muckrakers after 8 1/2 innings. John Danks was still pitching for the Muckrakers, up 4-0, throwing a shutout and just 3 outs away from delivering the first CDBL Championship to Madison. First batter up, Nick Hundley, struck out. Will Rhymes hit a fly out for out #2. It was now all up to pinch hitter Omar Infante. But Infante would not come through, hitting a fly out to end the game. John Danks delivers the victory for Madison, throwing a 6-hit shutout in the 4-0 Muckrakers victory for the first CDBL title in franchise history. MUCKRAKERS WIN 4-3, 2010 CDBL CHAMPIONS! 2010 CDBL PLAYOFF MVP: This series was dominated by pitching (the average team ERA was 2.94). Carl Crawford had a nice series, hitting .321 with 2 home runs, 5 runs scored and 5 RBNI. But playoff MVP honors goes to John Danks, who went 2-0 in 2 starts with a 0.56 ERA, including a game 7 complete game shutout. 11/2/2010, MAD10-ALP10, Dodger Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP
