Philadelphia vs. Denver

Game 1:
Both teams go with their new aces (in their first year with the team), Lee Oswalt vs. Steven Hyde. Denver plays a flawless game and gets 1 run in each of the 2nd through 5th innings, highlighted by homeruns by Kyle Broslofski, Joey Renseller, and Stan Marsh to take a 6-0 lead. Hyde dominates, throwing 8 shutout innings, allowing 7 hits and 1 walk while striking out 3. In the 9th inning, Jon Davis (filling in for usual Philly catcher Matt Bulger who was tired) hits a 2 run homer to allow Philadelphia to avoid the shutout. Final score, Denver 6 Philadelphia 2.

Game 2:
Charlie Zito vs. Bill Neumann. Philadelphia takes an early 3-0 lead on a 2 out 3 run homer by shortstop Jerry Ruiz. In the bottom of the 5th, Jason Hopper leads off with a double followed by a Keith Cerrano walk. Jack Hollis then brings them home with a double to make it 3-2. In the bottom of the 6th, Denver rallies again. Gaedel singles and steals second base. Butters then takes one for the team to put runners at 1st and 2nd. Joey Renseller then singles to centerfield to tie the game at 3. Stan Marsh is then hit by a pitch to load the bases for Ron Vineyard. Vineyard doubles home 2 runs to give Denver the 5-3 lead. After a Jason Hopper strikeout, Keith Cerrano singled home 2 more runs to give Denver the 7-3 lead. Philadelphia never threatened again and that was the final score. Denver now leads the series 2 games to nothing as the venue shifts to Philadelphia.
