Game 1 Dodger Stadium- Greinke vs Vazquez

Volcanoes score first thanks to Adrian Gonzalez 2 run HR in 1st inning, CAL would add 3 more in 3rd off a solo Ichiro HR and another Gonzalez 2 run BOMB! Vazquez would only last 3ip 7h 5r 5k
Top 5- 2 out 2 on, Beltre jumps all over a Joe Saunders pitch, launching it for a 3 run HR, breaking game open and Greinke in command until 7th when Halos get a 3 run HR from ARod and thats all for Greinke, Volcanoes add 1 more in 8th on Snider SF and onto bottom 9 Halos Carlos Pena hits a 2 run shot, but just as fast as rally began, it ends as Wheeler gets next two batters
Final 9-5 Volcanoes win

Game 2 Dodger Stadium, Jimenez vs Washburn

Halos get one in 2nd of Pena SF, Volcanoes retaliate with 3 runs in 3rd, bot 7 Halos get to Jimenez for 3 straight hits and Fuentes is summoned who walks in a run to his first batter, then a failed DP play allows another, followed by a SF and Halos have lead back 4-3. Halos bullpen dominant and squash any thoughts of rally
4-3 final series tied 1-1

Game 3 Turner Field, Zambrano vs De La Rosa

Halos on board first again with a Raburn solo shot in 2nd, Volcanoes answer with RBI single by Gonzalez in 3rd. Bot 4- Seven Volcanoes hits plate 5 runs, a huge 2 run triple by Bartlett highlights inning that saw 5 singles and a Callaspo triple also. Bot 6 K Morales would take DBard deep for a 2run shot, Halos would get 1 back on solo HRamirez HR.
Promptly though Volcanoes get 3 more in bot 7 playing small ball off Gregerson.

Game 4 Turner Field matchup of game 1, Vazquez vs Greinke

One of the greatest playoff games I have ever played, heck one of the greatest overall games I ever played, so glad it was h2h action!
Halos had a 4-3 lead when CAL ties it in 7th, what a ninth inning, Halos get sacks full but fail to score, bot 9 Bartlett with a 2 out double to RF, Ichiro who had singled earlier on his horse being waved home and is CUT DOWN at the plate!! 11th inning Volcanoes get a baserunner to second 1 out and fail to score.Halos would do the same in 13th. Each team would again threaten with runners on second but neither could get the key hit until the bottom of the 15th 1out Callaspo would single, Fox followed him with a 'grounder with eyes' that got through, 1st and 2nd 1 out, Coke uncorks one , now 2nd and 3rd 1 out, Spilborghs, hero or goat time--- HERO as he laces a single for walk off win!
3-1 series lead for California

Game 5 Turner Field Washburn vs Jimenez

Halos on verge of elimination,

Halos take a 2-1 lead after 2 played, With bullpens decimated by last nights event, Washburn took the ball and turned in 6 strong IP scattering 9 hit and 2r 0BB
Jimenez again though had walk problems 5 in 5ip and was lifted, Corriea brough in relief did a great job of keeping CAL in the game 2+ shutout IP, however the bullpen of Choate & Bergesen toss 3 shutout innings and preserve the win
Final 3-2 LA, series 3-2 Volcanoes

Game 6 back to LA--- De La Rosa vs JSaunders

Volcanoes would draw first blood in this pivotal ball game, Jumping out to a 4-0 lead after 4
Bartlett's RBI double would cap off a 3run 4th, De La Rosa turns in 5 shutout IP with 6k's and into each teams bullpens, Volcanoes would get 1 more late off Snider double to make it 5-0, Bot 8, Halos bats began to awaken getting a couple of baserunners on and finally breaking the shutout, getting 1, but that's all Sherrill would allow and Guerrier would work the 9th and series win
final 6-1

California Volcanoes the #5 seed pull off a grand series victory vs the #1 ranked LA Halos
