Plan worked out as the White Tigers take the wild card game 4-1 with Maddux allowing 1 run on 6 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings, with Eck and Smith combining to allow 1 hit with 3 Ks in the 8th and 9th. We actually had fewer hits, with just 6, but we manufactured a run in the bottom of the third when Henderson drew a walk, was moved to second on a ground out by Lajoie, and managed to get home safe on a single by Yaz. Then in the bottom of the 4th, Sisler got to first on a single, stole second, was given third on a balk, and came in on a sac fly by Gehringer. Finally, in the bottom of the 6th, Yaz led off with a single and Ruth followed it up with a 2-run home run.

So we get our nemesis Singapore, who we had a 1 game edge on in the regular season, going 10-9. Looks like our pitching order will likely be Johnson-Paige-Maddux (100)-Guidry-Johnson; they have theirs set to strict order and a 5-man rotation right now so unless they go in and change it it'll be Clemens-Grove-Mathews-Spahn-Maddux (99).
