World Series

vs

Games 1 & 2: At Boston

It's the time! The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived, the World Series! To start, Denver gets a blow even before the first pitch is thrown, their star first baseman Juan Carlos Gonzalez, who fractured his thumb a few weeks ago was expected to heal and be ready to start for game 1. However during batting practice he re-injured it and will thus have to miss out on the entire series.
John Leslie will start the first game for Denver, Leslie, the first pick in the inaugural draft went 12-7 on the year and lead the team with a 3.15 ERA.
Boston will put Ron "Jukebox" Simpson on the mound. Jukebox went 12-14 with a 4.73 ERA.
The game opened with much fan fare, there was fire works and a famous Boston-born actor threw out the first pitch. The teams were introduced and the managers ceremonially met on the pitchers mound to shake hands and turn in the line-up cards.
Finally is was game time, Denver struck first with 2 runs in the 4th, but it was all Boston after that as they ended up blasting the Grizzlies 14-4. CF Chris Williams, 1B Daniel Martin and RF Dennis Stewart all went the yard twice in the game, Williams even collected four hits on 5 of his ABs, and got a base on balls on the other. Alfonso Roman hit one homer himself in the fame to complete the humiliation of Denver.
Denver isn't one to lay down however, they struck back the next day and evened up the series with a 7-2 win. Stephen Myers went the distance for the Griz, pitching 8.0 innings while giving up only 2 hits and one earned run, ringing up 9Ks to boot. Boston starter Napoleon Lusieri didn't fair so well, being pulled after only 4 innings in which he gave up 6 earned runs.
RF Antonio Morales hit the only homer of the game, a 3 run shot in the top of the 4th.

Series tied 1-1
