Miami vs Chicago games 3-4-5

Game 3: Miami 11 Chicago 2

Jered DeMario pitched into the 8th inning, and Miami blew open a 2-1 game with a 5 run 6th inning. Bass had 3 hits, 2 runs, 2 RBI, and a homer, Forest Bush had 3 RBI after entering the game as an injury replacement at second.  Jeff Powell allowed 7 runs for the loss.

Game 4: Miami 4 Chicago 1

Chicago struck first with a Javier Soto homer.  Miami rocked Ruben Ramirez in the 4th as Peter Rabbit homered and Billy Bass had a bases loaded triple.  That would be the end of the scoring, and Miami's Steve Harriman threw a complete game with 7 hits, no walks, and 2 strikeouts.

Game 5: Chicago 6 Miami 5

Adam Harris and Alfonso Gorin each homered off Roman Matos, and Chicago took a 3-2 lead to the 8th inning after a strong start by Kyle Bonderman.  In the 8th Peter Rabbit singled, bringing on reliever Claude Smith.  Bush struck out on a foul bunt attempt.  Daniel Smith singled, and Brian Kaat flew out to deep left, with Rabbit tagging up and advancing on the play.  That brought on the closer, Sanchez, to face Billy Bass.  Bass walked, loading the bases for Mighty Joe Young.

Young singled, 2 runs scored.  After a walk to Arceneaux, Trevor Burton flew out to end the inning.  Chicago did not score in the bottom 8th, and Sanchez kept Miami off the bases in the top 9th.

Bottom 9th, Dwight Schrute in.  Soto singled, Gorin walked, and Johnny Tusken singled to load the bases.  Pinch hitter Miguel Delgado popped up, Cody Fett struck out.  Miami was now one out away from the world series, but Schrute lost the strike zone against Adam Harris, walking in the tying run.  He found it against Tobias Muttonly and struck him out to end the innning.

In the 10th, a 2 out single by Bass brought Young to the plate, and he doubled to left and put Miami up again.  With a 5-3 lead, Miami went to Tim Sullivan.  Byron Jones flew out, Durazo singled, and Javier Soto struck out.  Once more an out away, Miami went to lefty Kevin Davidson.  Alfonso Gorin popped the ball into right field, but somehow it found a space in between the fielders, got away from Bass and rolled into the corner.  The game was tied and Gorin had a triple.  Johnny Tusken then flew out.

To the 11th.  Bradley Oliver got a fly out, single, and then Doug Gwosdz grounded to first where Muttonly started a 3-6-1 double play.  In the bottom of the inning Davidson walked Jose Isales.  Miami went to righty Pat Jones.  Fett struck out.  Harris singled, sending the runner to third. Muttonly grounded to third with the infield in, the runner held, and Arceneaux got the out at first.  Byron Jones walked, and Jason Durazo lifted a soft liner just over the head of the shortstop to bring in the winning run and send the series back to Miami.
