It took back to back 13 inning games to decide the series, but in the end Sparta proved to be the better team winning 2-1 and taking the series in 6 games.
It was a pitchers duel this afternoon. Fanclub's Don Newcombe completed 9 innings giving up just 1 run on 7 hits while Kevin Brown was virtually flawless in 7 frames.
With Brown out of the game and Fanclub down 1-0 in the 9th, the visitors tied it up thanks to a Jorge Posada 1-out double. Fanclub had a chance to take the lead when Gorman Thomas followed with a single and Hughie Jennings was plunked to load the bases, but Adrian Gonzalez grounded to the pitcher to end the inning.
