Superior League Championship Series

Game 1: New York 8 Miami 3

Stars scored first, with Bud McNamara driving RBI hits in the first and third innings. Tommy Vercetti though, having a terrible postseason, could not hold the 2-0 lead. New York scored 3 in the fourth and 2 more in the sixth. Ho Chi Fat homered, and Vernon Coles had 3 hits and 2 RBI.

In the eighth inning Miami wasted a big opportunity with one out when Rich Almanzar, Joe Young, and McNamara reached to load the bases. Andy Moore then sent a flyball into right center. Almanzar tagged, but Joe Young read it off the bat that it was going to fall in. As it did, Young made a terrible mistake and passed Almanzar around third. Young was called out immediately. While Almanzar did score, Moore was thrown out going to second, and the inning was over. New York scored 3 in the 9th off the Miami bullpen to put the game away.

Game 2: Miami 9 New York 4

Vernon Coles tripled in a run in the second, and scored on a sac fly to give New York a 2-0 lead. Lindros added an RBI double in the 3rd. Then the Miami bats woke up. The score 2 in the bottom 3rd, and 5 more in the 4th, with everyone in the lineup contributing. Miami only had two extra base hits in the game, but piled the runs on by running the bases loaded offense. Bob Abuee had 3 hits, and Joe Young and Brian Kaat each drove in 3.

Tim Sullivan went 7 innings for the win. Miami shortstop Jim Concepcion was injured on a HBP. X-rays on his wrist indicated it was just a bruise, but Miami will be without him unless the series goes to 7 games. Elvis Lambo will take over at short, Miami will keep Concepcion on the roster so that he will be eligible if they make the world series.
