For the third season in a row the Santa Fe Tigers
(121-41) won the World Series in Gehrig. For the third year in a row the Tigers required all seven games of the Series to take home the hardware. For the San Diego Magic (113-49), a glorious season fell just one win short of a magical one.
The Tigers, the AL top seed, got to the World Series after dispatching the Atlanta Swabbies (98-64) in three games in the AL Division Championship Series, followed by an easy 4-1 series win over the Scranton Buccos (99-63) in the AL Championship Series. The Magic, the NL top seed, defeated the Pawtucket Rainbows (90-72) 3-1 in the NL DCS before needing 6 games to defeat the Cinncinnati Redlegs (100-62) to reach their 2nd World Series in the last four seasons.
The World Series was an intense, pitching be damned, affair from the get-go. Santa Fe scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th inning to take Game 1 11-7. The Magic shellacked the Tigers with 12 runs in Game 2 to even up the series before a closely contested Game 3 that saw the only semblance of decent pitching until the Tigers Bullpen blew a 1 run lead in the bottom of the 9th inning. The Tigers evened-up the series with a 12-run fest in Game 4. The Magic quickly countered with an 8-run effort in Game 5, thanks to a 6 run 7th inning.
In retrospect, the Magic lost the Series in Game 6. The Magic, needing one more win to clinch their second Series title in franchise history, jumped to a 7-1 lead before a furious 7th inning 7-run rally - 4 of the runs came with 2 out - by the Tigers put them ahead. In the deciding Game 7, the Tigers scored 5 runs in the bottom of the third inning and never looked back.
Congratulations to the Santa Fe Tigers on another great run.

Season 27 Wrap Up
For the third year in a row the World Series was decided in a Game 7, with the top-seeded AL Santa Fe Tigers (105-57) defeating the NL two seed St. Louis Jalowitzians (102-60) to claim kevinbigham's second World Series championship in Gehrig.
Santa Fe got off to a quick 2-0 lead in the Series by winning both home games, but the Jalowitzians bounced back and won the next two games in St. Louis by outscoring the Tigers 17-5. Santa Fe bounced back and stole Game 5 to give them a 3-2 Series lead. Despite a three-run lead in Game 6 at home, the Tigers gave up four runs in the top of the 7th inning and that was enough for the Jalowitzians to even up the Series at three games a piece. Unfortunately for St. Louis, Santa Fe's bats came alive in Game 7, pummeling the Jalowitzians pitchers for 19 runs and 20 hits. World Series MVP Marc Bennett (0.290 with 7 R, 11 RBI, 4 HR, and 1 SB) continued to cement himself as one of Gehrig's elite players.
Despite having a great run in the playoffs that saw St. Louis defeat the NL top-seed Fresno Mendozas to claim their second NL pennant in a row, the Jalowitzians fell again one win short of a title. Tigers GM franco8305 has assembled a strong squad and will undoubtedly have the Tigers fighting for another shot at a World Series championship soon enough.
On the other side, kevinbigham's squad has now racked up five consecutive 100+ win seasons and has shown no signs of slowing down.
Congratulations to kevinbigham on his second Gehrig World Series championship!
