Las Vegas Outlaws (4-3, .571) @ Los Angeles Leopards (3-2, .600)
Back in our park, with a game in hand, and needing just one more W to advance… there’s nowhere else we’d rather be… well, it would have been nice to get a sweep, but, you know – beggars (that’s us) can’t be choosers (that’s the universe), and all that.

6 of 7: Jack Sanchez-Flores (2-0, 4.85) @ Merl Crawford (0-1, 8.31)
Loss, 2-4. Jack Sanchez-Flores gave a better account of himself the second time around, holding our guys in check of 7-innings of 6-hit, 1-earned baseball with 10 K’s and his 3rd win of the playoffs entered into his permanent record. And, Merl, who we extended during the offseason, had himself another ho-hum outing, allowing all four of the Outlaws’ runs on 7 hits where he’s only fan 5, walk 2, and allow one, monstrous DINGER to Vegas’ Homer Wingard. Our offensive effort was childish, lazy, and altogether uninspired as we’d not give our staff enough to work with once again, allowing our division rival to put themselves in a position to embarrass us, in our home park, tomorrow during Game 7…

7 of 7: Jake Talley (1-0, 4.26) @ Jan Hernandez (0-0, 0.00)
Win, 2-0. We did it, by an unacceptably thin margin, but the deed got done nonetheless… here, with our backs up against the wall, we came out like a Pitbull while the Outlaws didn’t back us down an inch, doing enough to impress Bodie and get an ego-saving, game 7 win to advance to the LCS in our park, in front of our hometown faithful. Not a lot to parse out – Otto was the whole show offensively, his 2-run JACK during the bottom of the 5th would prove to be the game winner, and Jan, called upon to be great, was all that and more in 6-inning of 4-hit lockdown baseball. Ram Chen picked up the hold, pitching to just 1 batter to end the 8th after being called into action with the bases-loaded, and Haag helped Las Vegas out the door, earning his 3rd save of the post-season and guaranteeing that we’ll live on to fight for one more day.

Elsewhere: Denver and Toronto both closed out their series and will meet in the ALCS to determine who will represent their league in the World Series. Bracket is attached…

Record: 4-3, .571
Up Next: No sleep til…
