MLDS Florida v New York

 Silvanos Tonka, the greatest postseason pitcher in OOTP history with a 15-1 record, got the first out but let Juan Penales on first. Penales got the steal sign with Conn up, but the Barbarian never takes a pitch he likes, and he drove it into the right field corner to score the first run.

Tonka pitched effectively after that, and Roger Blackwood was dominant, the score was still 1-0 in the 7th. Tonka hit Don Glenn with a pitch, he later scored on a Wade Meyer single. With one out Florida loaded the bases to chase Tonka. Brian Ohman came on, and Florida allowed Blackwood to hit. He lined a double to the left field gap, 2 runs scored, and Glen Chase was out at the plate.

New York got 2 runs late on a pinch hit homer by Brienne of Tarth, but fell 6-3 in the opener.

Blackwood allowed 3 hits, 2 runs, no walks, and had 9 strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings.

Game 2:

Penguins struck first on a first inning, 2 run homer by Don Glenn. Adrian Sandusky homered for New York in the second, and they tied it up in the 3rd. Steven Stephens led off with a single, and a rare Mark Stevens single moved him to 3rd. Lee Thompson brought the run home with a sacrifice fly.

Tim Sullivan allowed just those 2 runs in 6 innings. Still tied at 2 in the 8th, Penales reached first, prompting New York to go to the pen for Brian Avila. Wally Calhoun gave Conn the hit and run sign. Penales took off, and Conn instead did the hit and trot, crushing a homer to the second deck in left.

Joel Camels pitched the last 3 innings, did not allow a baserunner, and picked up the win.
