Superior League Championship Series

Game 3: Miami dominates 10-1 to take a 3-0 series lead. Dave Lefevre pitches the best playoff game of his career, going 7 strong innings and allowing only 1 run.

Game 4: Baltimore staves off elimination for at least one day, winning 5-4. Darin Elam's 9th inning single off Bob Belardi seals the deal.

Game 5: Miami wins 5-4 to win the series 4 games to 1, and advances to their 2nd world series in 3 years. Clyde Frogg's 3-run 7th inning homerun reminds all fans of his cousin Sand Frogg's homerun in Game 6 of the 2002 World Series for the Angels. With 2 out in the 9th, Bob Belardi allowed a double to Joe Young, and then issued a walk to W. Gehrig Bear, and was visibly out of gas. RJ Duke pulled Belardi and went to Jay Lansing, who induced a harmless comebacker from Kobe Jones to end the game.

Miami will face New York in a rematch of the 2006 World Series, often considered the greatest 7 game series ever played.
