Major League Championship Series Game 5

Kei Ijawa vs. Roger Lewis. In the 1st, Portland takes a 4-0 lead, highlighted by a Zandar Dukakis 3-run HR. In the 2nd, Denver gets 1 back after Tingley doubles and eventually scores on a ground out. In the 4th, Dukakis drives home Roger Lewis with a double to make it 5-1. Ijawa is pinch hit for in the next inning, and leaves with a disappointing game 4-7-5-5-2-2.

The score remains 5-1 until the 8th. In the top of the 8th, Otto Tingley hits a 2-out, 3-run HR to make it a 1-run game. Roger Lewis retires the next batter, and leaves after 8 innings, going 8-7-4-4-3-8. To the 9th, Portland does not have Jake Richardson available, so they instead turn to Fernando Hernandez. Gaedell starts off the inning poorly with a strikeout. Vinnie Jones then hits a ball off the wall for a double. Keith Cerrano then pinch hits for the pitcher and flies out to CF. George Rivera then flies out to RF to end the game. Portland wins Game 5 by a score of 5-4. They avoid elimination and send the series back to Denver for Game 6. Denver will have the services of Stan Marsh for Game 6, and if necessary, Geoff Favre for Game 7.
