Pitching tells the tale as we flip the starters and hope to actually get both games in this time.   D. Reese takes a no-no into the 6th in Game 1 with all the support he would need before he even steps to the plate as the clean-up man in the 1st.   B. Reese (HBP, on-base all 3 times) and Mears (2-3) reach right away before Woltermann belts a high fastball well past the left-centerfield fence (2-3).

Woltermann's hustle 2B may have been a better highlight than his 3-run HR as he vertically breakdances into a 2-hop Jumpstyle dive into 2nd.   We plate 4 more in the 5th with a lead-off 2B from Couture and RBI hits from Humpert, Reardon, B. Reese and Mears.  Koppelman tosses the 7th.   Final: 7-1 over Reds

We start Game 2 trading runs with each squad scoring 2 in the 1st and 1 in the 2nd.   We then pull away for good pushing across the first 5 hitters in the 3rd with RBI knocks by Woltermann, D. Reese (2B), Kraus (2-2, 3 RBI) and Duncan (2 RBI).   Dolan booms a double for 2 RBI - Couture, Kraus, Mears & Wolt each with 2 Runs scored.

Hump on base 4 times.   Dolan and Duncan wrap up the final 2 innings.  Final: 11-4 vs. Chill
