Aaron homers twice, force Game 7 in wild Biscuit win


NLDS Game 6 
Otherton Fishbiscuits @ Rusty Kuntz Traveling All Stars





The ALDS and NLDS Game 6's prove why baseball is such a wonderful sport.  Two teams, each down 3-1 and assumed out of the playoffs, fight back to two wins in a row to force Game 7's.  In this game Hank Aaron, Ken Griffey Jr, and Jose Canseco combined for 4 home runs and 5 RBI to give the Fishbiscuits the 8-6 win.

Noodles Hahn didn't have his best stuff, but still managed to pitch into the 6th and give his team a chance at the victory.  Leaving with a 3-2 the bullpen almost coughed up the lead, but were ultimately saved by back to back bombs in the 9th from Canseco and Griffey Jr.

In the bottom of the 9th the All Stars scored three times but it just wasn't enough.

Game 7 is tomorrow when Cy Young hopeful Addie Joss (23-14, 2.60), again on short rest, will face Catfish Hunter (11-10, 3.42)

Starter Lines:
Hahn (OFB) : 5.2 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 0 K
Haddix(RKA): 7.0 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 0 BB, 5 K
