Last year in the postseason Nick Seaton came up big after stepping in to the rotation because of injuries. This year we counted on Seaton, who delivered with a 14-6 record in the regular season, but Seaton's postseason struggles continued today giving up 3 runs in 5 innings and he left the game with a 8.31 ERA.
With Seaton out of the game and the Expos trailing 3-0 heading into the seventh inning we got a big two run homer from John Bradshaw in the seventh, and a solo home run from Howard McDonald to tie the game at 3.
With our bullpen shutting down the Phillies we headed into extra innings when Howard McDonald hit his second home run of the game in the tenth to give the Expos a 4-3 lead.
We trusted Bill Olson to pitch a second inning and close the game out for the Expos in the bottom of the tenth, but an Orlando Hernandez doubled and William Pepin's third RBI single of the game allowed the Phillies to tie the game.
With Alex Ball in the game in the bottom of the eleventh he allowed a double to Edward Carr, a groundout, and a walk off fielder's choice to give the Phillies the 5-4 walk off win. The Expos are now down 3 games to 1 in the NLCS.
