Down in the series 2-0 before heading home to the Wall, the Wildlings likely would have signed up for a Game 6 and a 3-2 series disadvantage. It may not matter how they got to the is place, 3-0 deficit with 2 consecutive wins as they have accomplished, vs for instance a 2-2 series tie followed by a game 5 loss. The point being, this series is still very much in doubt, it's 3-2.
This afternoon Cy Blanton, on short rest no less, was masterful, pitching a complete game shutout in a do or die game. He had help of course. Ted Williams drove in two and after missing most of Game 4, Joe Jackson came back hitt well, banging out 3 hits.
Tomorrow's probables are Curt Schilling (7-11, 4.07) and Johnny Podres (17-6, 2.59). The teams head back to Manetheren for games 6 and possibly 7.
