Wheeze Kids represent the last gasp effort of the Phils to squeeze every drop out of the Superstars of the Seventies, turning to cast offs from the Big Red Machine. The 77 Phils were perhaps the pinnacle of the Seventies Phils. Another Series featuring Carlton vs Carlton matchups.
Game 1 is an amazing duel, featuring leather by both squads behind their respective Lefty. The 77 Team prevails 1-0, with 77 Bowa and 83 Mathews turning in webgems.
In Game 2 the old men get hot and rock Christenson, 7-1. This time it is 83 Garry Maddox that ends a 77 Phils threat.
Game 3, Hudson vs. Lerch, is another nail biter in what is turning into a tense series. 4-3 by the 77 squad. Von Hayes does damage with his feet, but Boone goes yard for the Game Winner.
Back to another Carlton v Carlton matchup in Game 4. It's another amazing duel. 77 Lefty prevails 2-1, with Bowa turning a critical double play to end a rally by the Wheeze Kids.
Sets us up for an elimination game in 5: Denny vs Christenson. Unfortunately, the game and the Series is decided by a critical DeJesus blunder at Short. 5-4, '77 Phils move on. Serves the Kids right for trading Bowa!
77 Phils advance to the Regionals against the winner of the final opener Series: 15 Pillies vs 2 First Phils Ever.
Another WS Loser heads down to the Loser's bracket, but wait, I've disrespected the Whiz Kids, a WS Losing squad who did advance. So the WS Losing teams are 1-4 in the Opening Rounds.
