Huntley took game 4, 4-...1. So there went that fun pattern...

Then in game 5, the Wilderness Roadkill took a 1-0 lead into the 9th inning, where Smoky Joe Wood looked to nail down the victory and a 3-2 series lead. And when Ken Griffey Jr and George Brett each grounded out on the first pitch, it looked like an inevitability.

But then...

Mickey Mantle took ball one and then shot a single into the outfield, and the Red Raiders had a sliver of life. Hank Aaron strode the plate. He swung at the first pitch and fouled it off, then took ball one. And then, with a mighty swing, the Home Run King launched a majestic shot, and Huntley had the lead!

Seven pitches and 3 quick outs later, Mariano Rivera nailed it down and the Red Raiders were on their way back to Huntley with a 3-2 series lead!
