The Raccoons ended the season going 8-10 and then opened the playoffs at home going 0-2 against the Gashouse Gorillas. After winning the 3rd game 7-3, I decided to start 99 Johnson so I pulled him from the pen and put Clarkson there. I also put Ruth on the bench in spite of his great season since he hadn't hit well recently and their park factors minimized power and they had a great control pitcher starting.

Johnson pitched very well, but the bullpen blew yet another save opportunity. I started Lajoie instead of Ruth at 1B and he didn't disappoint. It took 12 innings (with us outhitting them 17-6), but we finally won it with Lajoie getting the winning hit (a triple). He also went 5-6 driving in a pair and scoring a pair in our 5-3 victory.

Now it's back to the Evergreen Forest. So far the home team has lost every game. In the final game, we've got our ace Schilling vs their ace Walsh. Walsh won in the 1st game and Schilling lost in the 2nd game. Hopefully this will be reversed!
