World Series Game 6

Matos and Reyes are on the mound.  Miami scores first in the 2nd inning. Maldonado's error with 2 out and Peter Rabbitt on third gives Miami a 1-0 lead.  In the 4th Arceneaux homers.  In the 6th Joe Young scores from second on a Cabrera single.

Matos pitches 6 innings of 3 hit, one run ball.  Mathis throws out Howell in the 4th and does not allow a stolen base in the game.  He has thrown out the last 4 Penguin runners to try his arm.  In the 6th Howell doubles in Duke to make it a 3-1 game.  Pat Jones pitches a scoreless 7th, then gets the first 2 out in the 8th.  Kevin Davidson gets Howell to ground to first to end the 8th.

Up 3-1, Miami threatens to pad the lead in the 9th.  With one out and 2 on Florida relieves Jesus Alvarez with Oswalt.  Oswalt gets the hero cat Brian to hit into a 5-4-3 double play and keep things close.

In the 9th, Schrute comes on to get Maldonado to ground to short, then strikes out Kawasaki and Gromit.  Final is 3-1 Stars, and we will have game 7.

For Miami Brad Moulds will pitch.  For Florida it will be the ace, Buchanon, with both relief aces Hansen and Tejada rested as neither pitched game 6.  In 6 postseason starts Buchanon is 4-0, his team has won every game he's pitched, and he has not allowed more than 2 runs in any start.
