2004 Continental Baseball Association World Series
Boston Bombers (96-66) vs. Louisville Colonels (115-47)
GAME 7 @ Louisville: Robert Campos vs. Robert Westaway
Boston’s big guns in the middle of the order were on the bench against the left-hander. That’s a strange call for a game seven, but that’s how they did it all year.
Olivares, starting on a hunch, doubled in Jaramillo with the first run of the game in the fourth. A nifty 3-6-3 double play bailed Westaway out of a jam in the sixth, and it began to look like that lone run might stand up.
Trailing 1-0 with two out and nobody on in the eighth, Boston let Campos bat against Westaway. He had a hit earlier in the game but not this time.
Leading 1-0 with one out and nobody on in the bottom of the inning, Byrne sent McGlone to the plate to bat for Westaway with Sanders warming up in the bullpen. That’s a strange call to take out a guy with a shutout, but that’s how we did it all year. Robert Westaway pitched a great World Series game seven against Boston. Déjà vu!
Sanders took care of Boston in order in the ninth and, well… let’s have the play-by-play announcer tell you.
The Louisville Colonels win the series 4-3. This is CBA championship #1 for Louisville.
