Jonathan Papelbon shut the door in the 9th, earning the win.
Game 2 to Blue Ridge. Johan Santana and Mike Soroka battled it out for 8 innings pitching nearly perfect games.

As he did in the first, Acuna’s pinch hit, this time a RBI double, won the game following an error by Youkilis, giving the Drifters the win 2-0.

Game 7 to Detroit in 21 innings. First 3 games to Blue Ridge, Second 3 games to Detroit. Blue Ridge 23 runs, Detroit 22 runs. Game 7 was set up to be another dramatic one, and all that can be said is HOLY COW. The Drifters took the lead, 2-0 scoring on solo homers by Cal Ripken in the 2nd and Garciaparra in the 3rd. In the top of the 4th the Stars broke out on top scoring 4 runs on a leadoff homer by Mike Trout and a 3 run double by Catalanotto. The Drifters tied the game in the bottom of the 4th on solo homers by Freeman and Wright. The score remained tied at 4 as the game went into extra innings. Fast forward to the 18th. After 14 scoreless innings, Doug DeCinces broke the drought with a leadoff home run, giving the Stars the temporary lead. The Drifters tied the game in the bottom of the 18th on Bryan Reynolds’ RBI double. Fast forward to the 21st inning.

Game, Set, Match, WOW.
Series MVP goes to Mike Trout with a Home Run and 2 doubles and the game winning run in game 7. Trout only batted .167 for the Series, but his game 7 performance gives him the award.

So often the Rk is deceptive though. I just did an 80’s quick draft, was offered 19Rk Ozzie, 57 Rk McGwire. Both of those guys will have significantly bigger impacts than my 95Rk Puckett will.

Of all the #’s to look at, Rk is low on the priority list.
