National League Division Series
THUNDER BAY, NJ
-- West Orange eliminates Moon in 6 games thanks to a 2-run
homer by Jeff Francouer in the bottom of the 13th of the final game
off Andrew Sisco. Moon had tied the game at 5 in the top of the 9th
- a half-inning after West Orange turned a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4
lead - thanks to a leadoff triple by Nick Green off Cliff Politte
and a one-out sacrifice fly by Carlos Lee.
I'm sure sub-Division Series don't have MVPs but if this one did it
would be Rich Harden (PAN) who was 2-0, 0.00 with a complete game
shutout in Game 5 and allowed 9 hits while striking out 13 in 16
innings.
Honorable mentions go to Mark Teixiera (PAN) who was 3-7-.385 and
had a hit in every game as well as Carlos Beltran (MOO) who hit
.346, and had 4 hits in the final game and Nick Green (MOO) who hit
.538 and also had 4 hits in Game 6 while scoring 3 of Moon's 5 runs
(Beltran scored the other 2). Let's just say Andy Pettitte is happy
to see Beltran and Green go away for the winter.
Interesting figuress: West Orange had 6 HRs while Moon had none.
Moon Turned 10 DPs while West Orange only did the job 4 times. There
were only 4 errors in the 6 games - 3 by West Orange. |
