NLCS Game 1 -- St. Louis 3, Madison 2
Andrew Benintendi hit a solo homer run in the first inning and scored what proved to be an important insurance run in the eighth to help the St. Louis River Walkers to a 3-2 win over the Madison Muskies in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series at Busch Stadium.
Matt Olson had an RBI double off St. Louis starting pitcher Aaron Nola in the top of the first, staking the Muskies to a 1-0 lead. But Benintendi, the No. 2 batter in the River Walkers' order, quickly wiped that out with a 394-foot shot off Madison starting pitcher Adam Wainwright in the bottom half of the inning. Two batters later, Michael Conforto sent a Wainwright delivery 384-feet to give St. Louis a 2-1 lead. It would remain that way until the bottom of the eighth, when Benintendi drew a one-out walk from Drew Steckenrider. He stole second and wound up on third on a throwing error by catcher Tyler Flowers. A Steckenrider wild pitcher than allowed Benintendi to score. Oakland answered back in the top of the ninth. Olson hitting a one-out homer off reliever Bobby Poyner. Brett Gardner kept things going with a two-out walk from Brad Boxberger. He moved to third on a Tyler Flowers single. However, Boxberger got Adalberto Mondesi to ground out to third baseman Nicky Delmonnico to end it. After allowing the first-run, Nola was impressive going seven innings and allowing just the one run on three hits. He struck out one and walked none. Wainwright was not bad either. He departed after six innings, giving up two runs on four hits. He struck out three and walked the same. |

Columbus put up two runs or more in four innings as it reached double digits in run for the second straight game in an 11-7 win over the Grand Rapids Traders in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
Unlike their 10-4 Game 1 win, when they cranked out five homers, the Golden Bears hit just one long ball -- a solo shot from Gary Sanchez off Carlos Rondon in the second inning - as this time they complied 15 hits and were helped by seven walks. Tied at 1-1, Columbus took the lead for good in the third inning. Bryce Harper scored two with a single. A wild pitch plated the third run. The Bears would later add two runs in both the fifth and sixth innings and three in the ninth. Paul Goldschmidt finished with three RBIs. Harper, David Dahl and Chris Ianetta all had two. Seven pitchers split up the mound duties for the Bears. Starter Luis Castillo lasted four innings, giving up three runs on six hits. Bryan Shaw, who got the final two outs of the eighth, earned the win. |

NLCS Game 2 -- Madison 3, St. Louis 2
The Madison Muskies pushed across a pair of runs in the fourth inning to take the lead and never trailed again, as they evened the National League Championship Series at a game apiece with a 3-2 win over the St. Louis River Walkers at Busch Stadium.
Ender Inciarte led off the bottom of the first with a single off Muskies starting pitcher Stephen Gonsalves and later scored on a Michael Conforto sacrifice fly as the Walkers grabbed an early 1-0 lead. But Madison seized the lead against St. Louis starter Trevor Bauer when it opened the top of the fourth with three consecutive hits. Chad Pinder got it started with the long ball -- a 375-foot shot into the left field stands -- Brett Gardner and Tyler Flowers followed with back-to-back doubles, extending Madison's lead to 2-1. Flowers opened the sixth inning with another double, also off Bauer. He later scored when Gonsalves singled off reliever Chaz Roe. A Conforto homer off Gonsalves in the bottom of the sixth made it 3-2. But three relievers -- Justin Wilson (0.2 IP), Drew Steckenrider (1.0) and Corey Knebel (2.0) combined to shutout the Walkers the rest of the way to send the series north to Madison deadlocked. Gonsalves pitched 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on four hits. He struck out four and walked a pair. Knebel allowed just one hit while pitching a scoreless eighth and ninth.

NLCS Game 3: St. Louis 8, Madison 1

Madison did halve the lead in the bottom of the first, Nomar Mazara with a single which scored Brandon Nimmo, who had reached on an error by shortstop Adieny Hechavarria, but that would prove to be the only run the Muskies would get off Walkers starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks and the seven relievers who followed him to the mound. Hendricks pitched six innings, giving up the one run on five hits. He struck out five and walked two. At the plate, Hechavarria ended up 2 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs.

MBL World Series: Game 3 -- Columbus 4, Madison 3
The Columbus Golden Bears scored three runs in the top of the sixth inning to take the lead and went on for a 4-3 win over the Madison Muskies in Game 3 of the Midwest Baseball League World Series at Comiskey Park.
The victory put Columbus up 3-0 in the best-of-seven series. David Dahl, who had given the Bears a 1-0 lead with an RBI single off Madison starter Adam Wainwright in the first inning, gave his team the lead again in the sixth, this time for good, when he took Wainwright deep with his fourth home run of the postseason. The lead grew to 3-1 when Jackie Bradley Jr. laced an RBI double off Wainwright. A two-out single from Ozzie Albies -- again off Wainwright -- stretch the advantage to 4-1. The Muskies got two of those runs back in the bottom of the sixth -- Nick Senzel with a solo homer off Columbus starter Blake Snell and Brett Gardner with an RBI single off Alex Warren -- but that's all they would get. Snell allowed three runs on five hits before leaving with no outs in the sixth. Warren was able to wrap up the sixth inning with the Bears still in the lead. From there. Jake McGee tossed a perfect seventh while Joakim Soria allowed just a single base runner in the eighth and ninth to earn his first save of the postseason. |
