1978 vs the Whiz Kids in Series 2 of the Phinal Phour. 4 Teams, 4 Series.
Winner of this game will face 1977 in the final Loser Bracket game. Winner of that game will face 1976 in the Championship.
78 has it dialed up, they will start with Carlton and Christenson.
Whiz Kids counter with Roberts and Simmons.
Aces on Aces, it's on!
Gm1: Does not disappoint. The studs go the full 9 innings each, it's 1-1 going into extras. Whiz Kids breakthrough and take the opener 2-1
Gm2: McBride triples early, to give the Phils the lead. Christenson stands tall, Complete Game Shutout! 2-0 and the Series is even.
Over to the Vet. Whiz line up Miller, Bubba Church and Roberts back for Game 5.
Phils counter with Ruthven, Kaat and Carlton
Gm3: Another tight game. Ozark with the quick hook, and excellent bullpen and a web gem by Bake McBride and the Phils edge the Kids, 1-0. Phils are up 2 Games to 1.
Gm4: Whiz Kids just can't get their offense going. Meanwhile it's a homer by McBride, aggressive baserunning by Schmidt and MORE leather by the unlikely defensive standout, McBride! 4-1 Phils are up 3 Games to 1. Lefty can close it out.
Gm5: Willie Jones gets to Lefty and Robin Roberts throws the Shutout. 2-0 Whiz and the Series will go back to Shibe Park.
The rotations are blown, managers are thinking about short rest for Game 7 if we get there...
Gm6: Christenson vs Simmons. The Bull jacks one early and oh my, McBride has turned into Garry Maddox in rightfield... but Del Ennis gets the equalizer and that kid Ashburn makes a diving play to crush a rally. It's 2-2 going into extras! Great play in the field leads to, yes! Ashburn slaps one in the gap, the Whiz Kids push us to Game 7!
Gm7: Ozark sends Carlton out on short rest, but the Whiz go with Heintzelman for all the marbles... neither pitcher is sharp. Boone uncorks one for the early lead and his opposite backstop Seminick answers. The difference in the game and thus the Series is Bowa at short. He's gobbling up everything, but his patented stop deep in the hole and turns to fire to first to kill the rally, the game, the Series and the Kids hopes! 5-3 Phils!
So it comes down to 78 vs 77 in the rematch with the winner going to the Championship. 77 took this matchup in 5 in Series 22. Can 77 do it again?
Meanwhile the 76 Philly Fever wait to see whom they will face in the penultimate Series 30.
