Caprasquillo too much for Renagades as Detroit sweeps series
Detroit Mustangs 6
Baltimore Renegades 2

For eight innings, Detroit starter Alonso Caprasquillo matched Baltimore starter Jon Matlock pitch for pitch, and the game was tied at 2 through the end of 8. Caprasquillo was able to hold on in the ninth though, and finished off the Renegades season, picking up his second win of the playoffs. He pitched 4 hit ball through 9 innings, allowed 2 runs, and striking out 5.

Matlock ran out of steam in the ninth though, after throwing 135 pitches, he allowed a lead-off double to Gwang-Soo Kim, then intentionally walked pinch hitter Ron LeFlore. Reliever Bill Castro was brought in out of the bullpen, and retired Tommy McGraw on a pop-up to third base. The next batter, Mickey Rivers, laced a single into right field, but Kim was thrown out at the plate on a strong throw home by right fielder Greg Gross. With two outs, Ken Griffey came on to pinch hit, and delivered a single down the line past third base, scoring both LeFlore and Rivers to put the Mustangs up 4-2. Taizo Matsusaki followed with a 421 foot, 2 run bomb that put the Mustangs up 6-2.

Manager Ralph Houk spoke after the game, “I’m happy with how our guys responded this series. Baltimore is a good team, but our guys did what it takes to win ballgames. It will be nice to get our guys a couple of days of rest while we wait for our opponent, to heal some of the bumps and bruises.”

Detroit will host the winner of the Boston-Chicago series.
