Division Series Game 6 - RKA @ GCG

Gossamers 3, All Stars 2
In the best played playoff game of this postseason, the Gold Country Gossamers narrowly defeat the Rust Kuntz All Stars 3-2 in 12 innings. This was the third game of the series decided by 1-run.

Both starters pitched brilliantly and the Gossamers Rafael Betancourt blew a save in the top of 9th to force extra frames. With 1-out, Jim Edmonds smoked a 2-1 fastball deep over the right field line to tie the game at 2-2.

Neither team threatened until the bottom of the 12th. The Gossamers loaded the bases on single, a walk, and a hit by pitch to open the inning. After tossing 32 pitches in 2 1/3 inning JJ Putz was removed in favor of Takashi Saito. He forced Al Kaline to ground to third, affording the force out at home, but the next batter Ezra Sutton hit a single between third and short to end the series.

Series MVP: Bobby Murcer. With a slash line of .476 / .476 / .810 he also led his team in hits, doubles, triples, home runs, and RBI.
