Huntley's Eric Gagne took the mound in the bottom of the 9th inning with the Red Raiders leading the P405 Series 3-2 and the game 4-3. Josh Gibson led off with a single, but Gagne managed to induce a fly out from Honus Wagner. Huntley was 2 outs away from Perfect League championship number 3.

But then...

Ty Cobb doubled. Josh Gibson raced home to tie the score at 4. Cobb, ever the wily baserunner, took advantage of the throw home to gamble on making it to third base. The throw home was cut off--but Cobb was safe at third.

Walter Johnson, shifted from the rotation to the bullpen for the playoffs, was summoned to preserve the tie. But on a 2-2 count, Luke Appling grounded a single through the infield, scoring Ty Cobb and setting off a massive celebration in Doha, for there would be a Game 7.

Ed Walsh vs Ed Walsh: The Rematch. Winner take all. Can Doha complete the comeback? Or will Huntley push past the heartbreak of being 2 outs away and win it all?
