Game 6, Baltimore and Chicago

Game 6

Chicago tried to hold off Baltimore in an elimination game, but getting Joe Young out proved too difficult. With the score tied at 3 in the bottom of the 5th, Young reached base for the third time of the game on a walk. Chicago finally found a way to get him out, as Joe tried to score from 1st on Gehrig Bear's double. Cliff Moore made a great throw and nailed Young at the plate. Baltimore still took the lead though as Kobe Jones singled in Bear on the next pitch.

Joe Young added a solo homer in the 7th to make it 5-3. In the top of the 9th, Chicago had one more good chance against Gene Burris. Hideo Tunichi drew a one out walk. Sithas Kawasaki hit a grounder to second which could have ended the series, but after the forceout, Sithas beat the double play throw to reach first. Godzuki lined one bag to the pitcher, off his glove, and Burris could not recover in time to throw anyone out. Ray Hamilton stepped in, and drew a walk to load the bases.

Then the force failed rookie Luke Ford, as he popped up to catcher to end the game. Baltimore advances and will play Miami in the SLCS.
