Our second tourney elimination series pits a solid Phils team vs one of the all time best Phils rotations.
Both teams lost their Opening Round Series in the 7th Game. Should be a good matchup!
Gm 1: Halladay vs George McQuillan, Ace on Ace. A back and forth game goes into Extra Innings, 4-4. Gaavy Cravath delivers the Game Winner, Fightin 15 take Game 1, 5-4 in EI.
Gm 2: Hamels vs Alexander. The Fightin 15 lit up left handers historically, Hamels doesn't figure to feature as strongly in this Series. Facing the all time greatest Phillies pitcher in Grover Alexander. But Hamels pitches brilliantly, the game goes the distance, 1-1. Utley and Killefer with prominent defensive webgems. Alas, Cravath strikes again with the Game Winner in extras, Fightin 15 are up 2 games to none.
Gm 3: Mayer vs Blanton. Phils are mixing things up to keep right handers against the 15's. Cravath is, again, the start of the show, powering the Fightin 15's to a 6-3 lead over Joe the Pitcher and a 3 games to none lead.
Gm 4: 2010 are facing tourney elimination, Fightin 15 are looking at setting up their rotation for the next series. Rixey vs Kendrick. Becker powers the 15's, but Chooch Ruiz breaks the sweep. 5-4 Phils. We have a series.
Gm 5: Alexander vs Halladay. Halladay's been good, Alexander's been great. In a shocker, the Phils rock Pete, 7-0 the back breaker is a Ross Gload PH homerun. Utley flashes leather to preserve the shutout. 3-2 Fightin 15's
Gm 6: Oswalt vs Chalmers. Roy Junior delivers with Jimmy Rollins running wild, 7-2 Phils to set up Game 7!
Gm 7: Hamels vs Mayer. The strategy has been to hide Hamels vs the 15's who roast left handed pitching, but it comes down to him in the end for Game 7. Hamels delivers, again, with some help from the bullpen and Jimmy Rollins using his bat in this one! 6-0 Phils! The Fightin 15's are eliminated.
Fightin 15 are the second team eliminated as the 4 seed. DOMINANT pitching, they just don't have the power to compete with modern teams. They leave with a record of 6-8.
2010 Phils survive and advance to the 2nd round of the loser's bracket. They'll face the loser of the 11 Quakers vs 14 1978.
