******************************************************************* GAME THREE -- Caution (Marcum) at Stingers (Braden). After scoring so many runs the last game, the hitters must have been tired. Both starters ended up throwing 6 shutout innings before exiting the game. In the bottom of the 7th, Blake DeWitt singled, moved to 2nd on a walk to Marco Scutaro, moved to third on a double play ball from Bobby Wilson and scored on a base hit by Scott Podsednik. 1-0 Topeka after 7. The Caution entered the top of the 9th trailing by 1. Topeka closer Jose Valverde was on the mound. First batter up, Will Rhymes, grounded out. Pinch hitter Josh Thole walked. Pinch hitter Rick Ankiel struck out for 2 outs. Laynce Nix walked, and then Kevin Youkilis walked to load the bases with 2 outs, Alphaville down by 1. At the plate was Hanley Ramirez. Anything more than an out would tie the game up. But Valverde was able to get the better of Ramirez, striking him out to end the game. Topeka wins their first game of the series on the road with a 1-0 victory.

******************************************************************* GAME FIVE -- Caution (Jimenez) at Stingers (Buchholz). Topeka had their backs against the wall in ths series, but they would be able to play game 5 at home with their ace Clay Buchholz on the mound. In the bottom of the 2nd, Blake DeWitt hit a 1 out double and scored on a base hit by Marco Scutaro. That would be the only run allowed by the starters, who exited the game by the 8th inning. In the top of the 9th, Topeka closer Jose Valverde was pitching, with the Stingers leading 1-0. Pinch hitter Garrett Jones walked. Manny Ramirez hit into a double play, zeroing out the bases with 2 outs. Kevin Youkilis hit a 2 out single to put the tying run at first. But it would be for naught, as James Loney grounded out to 2nd base to end the game. Topeka wins a game 5 pitcher's duel by a score of 1-0 to send the series back to Alphaville.

The stakes were high. Whoever won game 7 would advance to the 2010 CDBL World Series. In the bottom of the 1st, Nick Hundley hit a 1 out double, moved to third on a base hit from Hanley Ramirez and scored on a base hit by Drew Stubbs. 1-0 Alphaville after 1. In the top of the 4th inning, Josh Hamilton singled, moved to 2nd on a walk to Ryan Howard, and scored on a RBI double by Chipper Jones. Ramon Hernandez grounded out, scoring Howard to put Topeka up 2-1. Topeka extended their lead in the 5th with a solo home run from Hamilton. 3-1 Stingers after 5. In the bottom of the 6th, Hanley Ramirez hit a 2 out single, then scored on an RBI double by Stubbs. The Caution evened it up in the 8th when Josh Thole hit a pinch hit double, moved to third on a fly out from Kevin Youkilis and scored on a Hanley Ramirez sacrifice fly. 3-3 tie ballgame after 8. Neither side would score in the 9th, so game 7 would go into extra innings with the winner getting the ticket to the CDBL World Series. In the top of the 10th, Kameron Loe was pitching for Alphaville. With 2 outs, Jason Kendall hit a pinch hit single. After stealing second, and after Ramon Hernandez was plunked by a pitch to put 2 runners on, Blake DeWitt put the Stingers ahead with a base hit, scoring Kendall. 4-3 Stingers, and Topeka was 3 outs away from advancing to the CDBL World Series. In the bottom of the 10th, Topeka closer Jose Valverde was on the mound, his team up by 1. First batter up, Laynce Nix, grounded out. Rick Ankiel grounded out. 2 outs. Just 1 out separated the Stingers from going to the CDBL World Series. Josh Thole got a 2 out walk, putting the tying run at first. Jose Valverde had a bout of wildness, throwing a wild pitch to move Venable to 2nd base, then another wild pitch to put him at third. Kevin Youkilis smacked a base hit, scoring the runner to tie the game up at 4. Another Valverde wild pitch moved Youkilis into scoring position before finally getting Hanley Ramirez to ground out to end the inning. 4-4 tie game. In the top of the 11th, Wilton Lopez was pitching for the Caution. Scott Podsednik and Andrew Ethier recorded 2 quick outs. Josh Hamilton got his 3rd hit of the game. On came Cory Luebke, the 8th Alphaville pitcher of the game. Ryan Howard hit an infield single, putting 2 runners on with 2 outs and the score tied. But hitter Starlin Castro could not capitalize, flying out to end the inning, score tied 4-4. Jose Valverde was still pitching for Topeka in the bottom of the inning with a tie score. Valverde gave up the walk to Drew Stubbs before being pulled in favor of Nelson Figueroa. Alexi Casilla flied out and Chris Ianetta struck out to put 2 outs on the board. Stubbs stole second. Whatever wildness issues Valverde had were catchy, as Figueroa threw a wild pitch, moving Stubbs to third. At the plate was Will Rhymes. A single would win it, but Rhymes did even better, sending a 3-2 pitch over the right field wall. 2-run home run, and Alphaville wins game 7 of this Gehrig/Tiant Conference Finals in dramatic fashion by a score of 6-4 in 11 innings.
