LCS Game 1 Complete

Championship Series Page
DC Chips 4, Black Diamonds 3
In a hard fought close game, the Chips edged the Black Diamonds 4-3. Throughout the game, neither team opened a large lead and the Chips finally went ahead for good in the 7th. Closer Cla Meredith entered the game early in a key situation - tie game, runner on first with nobody out - and gave up two singles before getting out of the inning. The second single, off the bat of Tip O'Neill, drove in Jimmy Ryan and proved to be the game winner.
