The Whiz Kids are the highest seed remaining in the winner's bracket. They have dispatched some quality teams that are still fighting in the Loser's bracket.
The '76 Philly Fever is one of my rooting interest teams, the first Phillies post season team that I was alive for.
Gm 1 and Gm2: Carlton v Simmons, Lonborg v Church. The Fever have their rotation setup just the way they'd like, yet Fever 1-2 is still outclassed by Whiz 2-3. These openers are two of the closest games we've seen in the Tourney, with all four Starters dominating the opposition. Both games go deep into extra innings tied 1-1 and both are decided by the slimmest of margins. In the end, the outclassed 1-2 outlast 2-3 and it's the Whiz pen that takes the losses. 2-1 in both games, Fever jump to a 2-0 lead on the road.
Gm 3 Roberts v Kaat in a must win. Another 1-1 game into extras, this time the Whiz managed to breakthrough and take it 2-1.
Gm 4 Miller v Christenson. Here's a surprise, a 2-2 game into extras! The pens are getting rag arms, the fans are exhausted. Bowa and Boone combine with extra inning heroics to put the Fever up 3 Games to 1.
Gm 5 Heintzelmen vs Carlton. A complete game shutout by the lefty in an elimination game... Heintzelmen! 1-0 game, Fever remain up 3 games to 2.
Gm 6 Lonborg v Simmons. ANOTHER game goes into extra innings, 1-1. This time it is Maddox and Boone combining to take the game and the Series.
EPIC series, 6 Games and no team was ever up by more than 1 Run. 5 of the 6 Games went into Extra Innings. This was hard earned, hard fought and a devastating loss for the Whiz Kids. It will be interesting to see how they rebound in the Loser's bracket.
The Fever move on to become the first team in the Philly Phinal Phour. They are 1 Series win away from the World Series of Philly.
Despite the Series loss, since they have made it this deep in the Tourney without losing a Series, the Whiz Kids remain 1 Series win away from the Phinal Phour.
