IBL Championship Series SCORES MCM 3 2 2 1 3 SDQ 4 3 3 0 5 INJURIES 1 2b SDQ TB Green 10 3 2b SDQ CHA Harris 4 5 p SDQ NYA Wang 21 SDQ crowned 2006 IBL Champions, 4-1!! The SDQ v. MCM IBLCS matched up the same teams that appeared in the IBL 2005 Championship Series, which MCM won in 5 games. MCM had the edge going into the series, with Johan Santana, a domination pen featuring CHA Cotts, HOU Lidge and NYA Rivera, and a stronger and deeper offense. SDQ was also further weakened by losing starting 2B and leadoff hitter Freel in the NC CS vs SEA. As in the NCDS and NCCS, SDQ overcame a stronger team and injuries to all their 2B (Green and Harris), thanks to strong pitching, strong defense and clutch hitting. Some interesting series facts: - SDQ won 3 games by 1 run, 1 by 2. Every single game was close throughout. - MCM hit .226 with RISP, .250 with RISP and 2 out. - SDQ hit .205 with RISP, .315 with RISP and 2 out! - MCM out-hit SDQ (.237/.283/.387 versus .222/.297/.311) though SDQ had 38 LOB vs MCM’s 35 LOB. - SDQ had a team ERA of 2.15, whilst MCM’s team ERA was 3.00. Neither team allowed an unearned run. IBLCS MVP: LAA Kelvim Escobar 2-0 1 Save, 0.00 ERA, 6.67 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 9 K.

SDQ lost their 2nd starting second baseman in consecutive series as TB Green was lost to injury in t4. In b4, SDQ scrapped across a run thanks to a 2 out RBI single by Pedro Feliz. MCM responded in t4 with an RBI double by Monroe and an RBI single by Reed, but Iguchi hit into a GDP with the bases loaded and 1 out to end the threat. MCM extended their lead to 3-1 in t7 with a 2 out RBI single by Reed. Pedro Feliz hit a 2 run DF HR in b7 off Lidge to tie the game, and Brady Clark hit a solo HR off Lidge in b8 to give SDQ the 4-3 lead. Escobar pitched a perfect t9 for the save and an SDQ 1-0 series lead. Players of the game: SDQ: SF Feliz 2-3, 2 RBI, R, HR MCM: SEA Reed 2-3, 2 RBI HR: MCM: None SDQ: Feliz (1), Clark (1) G2: (PerezO. v Wang): Rookie phenom Wang (15-1 in regular season), took the hill in game 2. Wang struggled in game 2 starts in both NCDS and NCCS, and gave up a leadoff HR to Rollins in t1 and allowed 2 singles in the inning. SDQ tied the game in b2 on a Wells solo HR and SDQ took a 2-1 lead in b3 on a Guillen RBI groundout. MCM turned to their pen whilst SDQ stuck with Wang. Wang scattered 4 hits in innings 2-8, and only allowed 1 runner to 2nd. Meanwhile, the MCM pen was nearly as effective. SDQ did load the bases in b5 with no outs, but was only able to push across a single insurance run. The insurance run provided the cushion SDQ needed, as in t9, Shawn Green hit a solo HR with 2 outs to bring MCM to within 1. Wang retired the final hitter for the complete game victory and an SDQ 2-0 series lead. Interestingly, first and last hitters, with 26 outs between hits, each had a solo HR. Players of the game: SDQ: TOR Wells 2-4, R, RBI, HR MCM: SEA Reed 3-3 HR: MCM: Rollins (1), GreenS. (1) SDQ: Wells (1) G3: (Colon v Baker). Both starters were strong, as has been all series. SDQ scored first in t3 on a 2 out rbi single by Helton. A MCM rally in b4 was ended by an Iguchi GDP (part of a 1-4, GDP, 2 K day). The teams exchanged runs in the 6th with SDQ getting a run on an rbi groundout be Langerhans and Nick Johnson scoring after a leadoff 3B on a Griffey ground out. MCM managed to get a runner to 2nd in b8, so SDQ turned to Escobar to face Randa with 2 outs, however Randa delivered a clutch single to tie the game 2-2, and give MCM a distinct edge with a stronger pen and playing at home. SDQ rallied in t9 and had runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs, but Hill hit a park out (a hit in SDQ!). SDQ went down in order in t10 whilst MCM went in order in b9 and b10. In t11, 1 out walks by Langerhans and Melhuse setup Burnitz to hit an rbi single off Rhodes to give SDQ a 3-2 lead. Shawn Green hit a 1 out 3B off Miller, who then IW’d McCann and got Monroe to hit into a game ending DP, giving SDQ a 3-0 series lead! SDQ did lose their 3rd second baseman of the playoff, CHA Harris, on a SB in t7. Players of the game: SDQ: SEA Morse 2-5, RBI MCM: WAS Johnson 2-5, 2 R, 3B HR: None. G4: (Buehrle v Santana): Both teams sent their aces to the hill for game 4, a game that exemplified the term “pitching duel”. Buehrle was no where near as sharp as Santana, as MCM had 6 hits in the first 4 innings, however Buehrle and the SDQ defense kept MCM off the board. Burnitz threw out Piazza at the plate with 2 outs in b2 to keep the game scoreless early. SDQ managed a rally in t5, but it was the MCM defense that responded with DeRosa throwing Feliz out at the plate, also with 2 outs. Nick Johnson got MCM on the board in b5 with a one out solo HR. 1 run may not seem like enough, but it was enough for Santana and the MCM pen as they combined to shut out SDQ 1-0 to send the series to a game 5. Players of the game: SDQ: SF Feliz 2-3 MCM: SD Randa & DET Rollins 2-4, 2B for each. HR: MCM: Johnson (1) G5: (Wang v Chen): SDQ looked to get their offense untracked and looked good by scoring in t1 on a 2 out RBI single by Wells. However, as in g2, Rollins led off with a HR, then Griffey hit a solo shot to give MCM a 2-1 lead. MCM extended their lead to 3-1 on a 2 out rbi double by Shawn Green. Wang was injured for the remainder of the series in b4, and with runners on the corners and 1 out, Mercker stepped in and prevented MCM from scoring a crucial 4th run. SDQ had managed 3 hits over innings 2-6, but managed to score twice off Cotts thanks to a BB, 2 WP, and 2 singles, including a 2 out RBI single by Morse. SDQ turned to Escobar in b7 with the game tied, and MCM threatened to take the lead in an odd inning that went 1B, K, BB, K (Johnson), WP, BB, K (Randa). With Rivera on the hill in t8, SDQ got a leadoff HB by Clark, then 2 quick outs, one of which advanced Clark to 2nd. MCM chose to IW Langerhans, bringing up a pinch hitter in Melhuse, who hit a clutch, 2 out, 2 RBI 2B to give SDQ a remarkable 5-3 lead. Escobar retired the final 6 MCM batters in order to give SDQ the series victory.
