Stl 15 SF 11
Down 6-1 in the 6th St. Louis put 10 on the board thanks in large part to a number of poor throwing decisions by Reuschel.

[ultimate7]

It has been determined that the season will be 36 games for each team (4 against each opponent) and the playoffs will be 2 vs 3 in best of 3.  Winner plays 1 in best of 5.

I will then do a similar season with the Arcade ROM.

NL 10 Minn 0 (1 inn)
NL scored 10 in the top of the 1st, every hit was on the ground, nothing hit in the air except pop outs.  Minn has now played in 3 straight games that took 2 innings or less.

they must have had that pesky ground ball attribute on.

[ultimate7]

There were a few low line drives, but nothing that would have cleared an IF's reach.  I know you are joking but it should be reiterated that the trajectory of a hit is random, so they must have been hitting low numbers on the RNG all inning (except for the 2 pop outs)

[BeeJay]

I just wanted to ruin TBG's joke.

[ultimate7]

SF put up 7 in the top of the 1st and never looked back.
