Division Series Results - Afternoon Games

The afternoon slate of games is complete (reward for those who submitted lineups early) and the remaining games will run tonight.

All Stars 6, Gossamers 0
Lefty Gomez was the stud pitcher, defeating the great Pedro Martinez by lasting into the 8th while giving up just five hits and striking out four. Bill Terry banged our 3 hits while Honus Wagner and Jim Edmonds each drove in two for the win.

Martinez just didn't have his best stuff and was pounded for 5 runs and 6 hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Chips 6, "Mechanics" 4
A win exactly as designed. A solid effort behind Bob Ojeda (5 IP, 3 ER), great bullpen work (4 IP, 1 ER), and timely hitting up and down the lineup gave DC a road opener victory. After trading runs for most of the early going, the Chips erase a 4-3 deficit in the 7th inning and beyond.

The worst blow came in the 7th when Greg Maddux, pitching on short rest, reached his pitch count limit and was removed in favor of Joey Eischen. The reliever walked his first batter and gave up the game tying run on a triple to center fielder Ty Cobb. Cobb scored the go ahead run 1-out later on a Carlos Delgado sacrifice fly.

For his part, Maddux was good but not great. He pitched 6 innings of 8 hit ball, yielding 3 runs though only 2 earned.
