2010 Major League Championship Series Game 7

Game 7 Rematch for all the marbles. Philly sends Roscoe Savage to the mound to face Suzuki MazdaHonda. New York takes a short lived 1-0 lead in the 2nd, courtesy of a Paul Hagan hit and RBI. In the 3rd, Jimmy Taylor hits a solo HR to tie the game. It stayed that way until the 5th, when Philadelphia jumped all over MazdaHonda.

After a Jimmy Taylor leadoff single, Moochie Henson then bunts him to 2nd base. Paul White then grounds out to shortstop for the 2nd out. So far, the inning is almost over and is harmless for New York. Thats when trouble struck. Bulger singled to make it 2-1. After a Corey Sloan single, Balboni singled to center to score Bulger, and Balboni advances to 2nd on the play at the plate. Gruber then follows with a single and its 5-1. New York is reeling and panicking at this point. They get Chavez to make the 3rd out without any more damage being done, but Philly is up 5-1 with only 4 innings left in the season.

New York never threatens, and Philadelphia wins the game 6-1, despite not having Jerry Ruiz for the final 6 games of the series. Savage gets the win, going 7-7-1-1-0-5, and Devarez closes out the 9th with 2 strikeouts. MazdaHonda takes the loss, going 5-8-5-5-2-4.

Philadelphia wins the Major League Championship Series 4 games to 3, and advances to the World Series to face the Charlotte Hawks. This will be the first time since 1998 that the Major League is represented by a team other than the Portland Decepticons (99, 04, 05) Florida Penguins (00, 01), or New York Cobra (02, 03, 06, 07, 08, 09). Its the first time since 1994-1 that the World Series won't feature either a human-managed team or the Utah Utes (1994-1 World Series Orlando Rugrats defeat Denver Rabbits).
