World Series Game 6

 Cleveland scored the first 2 runs against Dan Mason. Will Daugherty doubled in a run in the 4th against Tim Goff to make it 2-1. In the 5th, Jody Rasmussen homered to make it 3-1. That's all the runs Hollywood would get against Goff, who pitched a 2 hitter over 7 innings.

Ernesto Lopez came in for the 8th, trying to get his team to a game 7. Eddie Del Toro started the inning with a single, and Eugene Wheeler doubled him to 3rd. Pinch hitter Gunnar Lumo singled in Del Toro, and Erik Valentin hit a sac fly to center to tie the game. After Will Daugherty struck out, Lumo stole second base and then came home on a Cesar Corona single. Just like that, the B's were on top 4-3 and 3 outs away from their first title.

Doug Freeman, who had already saved 3 games with 6 innings of work, took the mound once more. Roy Snipes grounded to second. Rasmussen drew a walk, bringing up Otto Stevens. Stevens hit a grounder to second, with Daugherty go to short, then back to first for a double play.

The B's are now world champions. Eddie Del Toro was named series MVP, though many thought Freeman deserved it most.

"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said Hollywood manager Keith Grace. "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."
