SCORES CSP 1 2 2 4 WCW 2 6 4 5 Missing boxscores for games 3 and 4! The thrills, they never stop. WCW scored a run in the bottom of the 9th to tie and a run in the bottom of the 10th to win in the opening game of the NLCS. WCW starter Travis Wood went eight strong innings, allowing only an RBI triple to Alex Rodriguez in the 6th. CSP starter Tim Stauffer was even better, pitching a shutout into the 9th before allowing a game-tying RBI double to WCW hero Martin Prado. Neftali Feliz pitched the 9th and into the 10th for WCW, followed by Darren Oliver who recorded the final out of the inning. CSP relievers Joe Thatcher and Joakim Soria pitched out of the aforementioned jam in the bottom of the 9th to keep it tied, but with one out in the 10th, Soria walked Chris Young, balked him to second, and then surrendered the game on a RBI OFR double to Nick Hundley. Game two and more are planned for approximately 5pm eastern Monday.

CSP 1 WCW 2 In a matchup of bigger name starters than game one, Felix Hernandez faced Ricky Romero in the second game of the NLDS. Both starters began well, but WCW scored three in the third on a series of singles, an unusual occurance to say the least. It stayed 3-0 all the way until the eighth, as Washtenaw tacked on three more two out runs against CSP reliever Joe Thatcher. King Felix came out for the ninth and retired the first batter, but an two base error by Adam LaRoche and a two out RBI single by Miguel Tejada broke up the shutout. Washtenaw closer Neftali Feliz was a little shakey, throwing a wild pitch and giving up an RBI single to Alex Rodriguez, but he recovered and struck out the fearsome Jose Bautista to end the threat and the game. 6-2 WCW was the final. The series shifts to Casper for games three through five. We plan to resume on Monday or Tuesday. Todd WCW grs version 3.0.0 CSP at WCW Cool, clear, no wind (Tropicana Field, dome, turf-fair).
