SLCS games 1-2 in Miami

Game 1: Chicago 2 Miami 1

Ruben Ramirez pitched 8 innings, Gregor Clegane homered, and Brady Sanchez shut the Stars down in the 9th

Game 2: Miami 7 Chicago 6

Winds took a 6-1 lead into the 9th, with Danny Almonte pitching a gem.  Miami's only run came on a 2nd inning homer by Arceneaux.  In the 9th things fell apart.  Ferreira and Kaat opened with singles, and Joe Young drew a walk.  That was it for Almonte, and closer Sanchez came on.  Arceneaux singled to make it 6-2, and a Billy Bass sac fly made it 6-3.  Sanchez then hung a slider to Daniel Smith, who lined it over the left field wall to tie the game.

Neither team put together a major threat until the bottom of the 11th.  Arceneaux singled after a 13 pitch battle with Claude Smith.  Bass walked, and a Smith groundout moved the runners up a base.  After an intentional walk to Peter Rabbit, Oswipe lifted a fly to medium center.  Arceneaux tagged and slid in headfirst with the winning run.
