PLAYOFF REVIEW

SOUTHERN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Los Angeles Idols (90-72) vs Orlando Orcas (89-73)

NOTE: Partly because I think few people are reading the full game reviews and partly because of time constraints, I'm going to shorten up the game synopses a bit.

Game Five: Except for two half innings, this was a pitchers' duel. But those two half innings were doozies.

The Los Angeles Idols backed starter Billy Rhines with a four-run fifth that gave them a 5-0 lead. They picked up five hits and walk in the inning, including an RBI double from Fred Tenney, an RBI single from Mike Donlin and a two-run double from Vern Stephens.

Orlando scored one in the bottom of the fifth to make it 5-1 before exploding for six runs in a bottom of the sixth during which they sent 10 batters to the plate. Ryan Ludwick and Claude Ritchey each had two-run doubles, and Pelayo Chacon continued his offensive spurt in the playoffs with an RBI single.

Buck Ewing homered in the 8th for Orlando as an insurance run as Al Javery and Red Munger held the Idols in check the rest of the way to give Orlando an 8-5 victory and the series advantage.

Orlando leads series 3-2.
