Red Sox won, Yankees lost and there is a 3-way tie for 1st.
1st game of the playoff, Roger Freed hit a pinch-hit 3 run home run with 2 outs in the 9th as the Orioles beat the Sox 6-5. The Orioles went 9-2 down the stretch as the Sox only went 5-6 as they had the lead with 4 games to go, but went out on a heartbreaker.
2nd game of the playoffs, Brooks Robinson broke a 2-2 tie with a bases loaded double in the 7th to lead the O's to the playoffs against the Twins as Baltimore went on to win 5-2.
So it's O's-Twins and Cardinals-Reds.
The Orioles continued their hot play in the playoffs as they had an easy time beating defending WS champs Minnesota 3 games to 1 as Boog Powell was series MVP
St Louis had an equally easy time taking out the Reds in 4 games. Jim Northrup was the series MVP.
It took 7 games, but the Orioles won 3 of 4 in St Louis including 6-4 win in game 7. Don Baylor won series MVP as he hit 3 triples in game 7 and over .400 in the Series.
I got a contract extension, but he is "worried". I have improved our prospects from 21st to 13th and that's before our #4 pick.
