Minneapolis Millers vs. Atlantic City Vultures
SPB5-1997 N.L. Championship Series GAME 1
With Mike Mussina on the mound against Pat Hentgen, the Millers leapt out to a 2-0 lead, thanks to a home run by Ray Lankford and a double by Mark Grace. Mussina continued to keep the Vultures at bay until the 7th inning, when pinch-hitter Jose Canseco singled and Craig Biggio doubled. Reliever Arthur Rhodes came on and let one run in on a ground ball, then the tying run on Manny Ramirez’s sac fly. After a walk, Jose Mesa came in and then walked the next three batters to push in the go-ahead run. In the bottom of the 8th, Billy Wagner came on, and gave up a triple to Tony Gwynn and an rbi single by Tino Martinez. Mike Jackson came on to work himself into and out of a jam in the 9th, but saved the game.

SPB5-1997 N.L. Championship Series GAME 2 Pedro Astacio of the Millers faced off against B.J. Jones of the Vultures, and Astacio dominated all the way. Although the Vultures scored first on Edgar Alfonzo’s rbi single. But Jones began to fall apart in the 3rd, allowing a 2-run triple to Chipper Jones, an rbi-double to Lankford in the 4th, and an rbi single to Ryan Klesko in the 5th. The Vultures scraped back two runs in the 8th on Tino Martinez’s homer off Rhodes. Timlin and Wagner came on, though, to shut things down, and the Millers added an insurance run in the 9th on Rex Hudler’s rbi double. Millers 5 Vultures 3. WP-Astacio, LP Jones, Sv.

SPB5-1997 N.L. Championship Series GAME 3 With Jamie Moyer on the mound against the Millers’ Jason Schmidt, the Vultures struck first, for single runs in the 1st and 2nd innings. I-Rod singled home Biggio in the 1st, and Alfonzo led off the second with his first homer of the series. Both Moyer and Schmidt then settled down for a duel. Kevin Polcovich doubled home the Millers’ second run. That’s the way the game stayed, 2-1 in favor of the Vultures, until the 9th inning, when both teams went crazy. With one out, Timlin walked Canseco, Craig Biggio singled, then Tony Gwynn uncorked a 3-run homer. In the bottom of the 9th, with Antonio Osuna on the mound, the Millers mounted a comeback. Pinch-hitter B.J. Surhoff singled, moved to second on a grounder, was doubled home by pinch-hitter Tony Tarasco, then pinch-hitter Ryan Klesko delivered a 2-run homer to bring the Millers to within one. Mike Jackson came on to shut things down, but was greeted by a Chipper Jones double and a pinch single by Luis Lopez. Mark Grace walked to load the bases. Just as suddenly, Bernard Gilkey lined to 2nd, and Garret Anderson flied to left to end the game.

SPB5-1997 N.L. Championship Series GAME 4 For Game 4, veteran Shane Reynolds of the Vultures faced off against the Millers’ Garret Stephenson. The Vultures jumped all over Stephenson in the first 3 innings, opening a 4-0 lead. In the 2nd, Biggio doubled home Alfonzo, then Ramirez delivered a 2-run single. In the 3rd, Jay Bell singled home Ivan Rodriguez, who had doubled. The Millers clawed back with single runs in the 5th (fielder’s choice), 7th (sac fly), and 8th (Chipper Jones home run). But, while all the Millers pitchers struggled in an attempt to keep any more runs from scoring—hits upon hits, and hit batsmen, the Vultures relievers Greg McCarthy and Mike Jackson shut the Millers down.

SPB5-1997 N.L. Championship Series GAME 5
Game 5 brought a rematch between Game 1 starters Hentgen and Mussina, and both pitchers were at their peak form. Indeed, the Millers’ Mussina bested Hentgen statistically across the whole game, allowing just 3 hits to Hentgen’s 5, and striking out 7 batters to Hentgen’s 5. The game remained scoreless until the 9th inning. Mussina was working on a 1-hitter. Hentgen grounded to short to start the inning, and Biggio flied to right. Then Tony Gwynn struck his second home run of the series. Ramirez followed that with a single and moved to second on Klesko’s error, but Mussina struck out Tino Martinez to end the inning. Facing a 1-0 deficit and needing a comeback against Hentgen, Chipper Jones reached first on Jay Bell’s one-out error, then Garret Anderson singled him to 2nd, chasing Hentgen. Mike Remlinger came on and walked Gilkey to load the bases, still with one out. But then Lankford struck out, and Mike Jackson came on, and was greeted by pinch-hitter B.J.Surhoff. Jackson struck him out on three pitches, ending the threat, the inning, the game, and the series. Vultures 1 Millers 0, WP Hentgen (2-0), LP Mussina, Sv Jackson (4) Congratulations to Michael Fischer on terrific season and to Jim Condon, whose Hobbits ran into a Moondog buzz saw in the other LCS. 10/16/1997, ACV97-MIN97, The Ballpark in Arlington 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1997 Vultures 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 3 1 3 2 1997 Millers 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 1 6 2 Vultures AB R H BI AVG Millers AB R H BI AVG Biggio 2b 4 0 0 0 .368 Grace,Ma 1b 2 0 0 0 .176 Gwynn rf 4 1 1 1 .250 Jones,Chp 3b 4 0 1 0 .368 Ramirez lf 4 0 1 0 .286 Anderson,G rf 4 0 3 0 .182 Martinez,T 1b 3 0 0 0 .200 Klesko lf 3 0 0 0 .231 Rodriguez,I c 3 0 0 0 .278 Gilkey ph 0 0 0 0 .167 McCracken cf 3 0 1 0 .250 Lankford cf 4 0 0 0 .300 Alfonzo 3b 3 0 0 0 .278 Difelice c 3 0 1 0 .167 Bell,J ss 1 0 0 0 .400 Surhoff ph 1 0 0 0 .500 Hentgen p 3 0 0 0 .000 Spiezio 2b 3 0 0 0 .000 Remlinger p 0 0 0 0 .000 Polcovich ss 3 0 0 0 .167 Jackson,M p 0 0 0 0 .000 Mussina p 3 0 0 0 .000 28 1 3 1 30 0 5 0 Vultures INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Hentgen W 2-0 8.1 5 0 0 2 5 111 70 1.17 Remlinger H 1 0.1 0 0 0 1 1 9 4 0.00 Jackson,M S 4 0.1 0 0 0 0 1 3 3 0.00 9.0 5 0 0 3 7 123 77 Millers INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Mussina L 0-1 9.0 3 1 1 3 7 104 66 1.80 9.0 3 1 1 3 7 104 66 MIN: Gilkey batted for Klesko in the 9th Surhoff batted for Difelice in the 9th E-Bell,J, Klesko. 2B-McCracken(1), Anderson,G(1), Difelice(1).
