CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RESULTS
Phoenix (Confucius) def. Oklahoma City (Apsu) 4-3
New Orleans (Nahak) def. Raleigh (Ra) 4-1
Phoenix does it again, this time toppling Oklahoma City's powerful offense in 7 games. The series came down to the wire until Confucius' RBI double in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 7 wins the series for Phoenix. Phoenix wins the series with scores of 4-3(12), 3-6, 4-5, 8-2, 7-6, 1-6 and 7-6. Phoenix will be heading to their second World Series appearance, losing the 3004 DCL Championship game to Mohammed's Buffalo team.
Ra continued to struggle mightily at the plate in his first post-season experience as New Orleans continued to roll, dismantling the underdog Raleigh team in 5 games (9-1, 8-6, 7-3, 2-4 and 2-1). New Orleans is the heavy favorite to repeat as DCL Champions.
DCL WORLD SERIES MATCHUP
New Orleans (Nahak) @ Phoenix (Confucius) - Had Phoenix not beaten very tough Houston and Oklahoma City teams to get here, they would be much bigger underdogs than they are now. However, they have shown so much heart and desire that some gamblers are betting that Phoenix's Cinderella story will continue. However, most bettors are favoring New Orleans in this series as their abilites -- on paper -- seem to overshadow an apparently overmatched Phoenix squad.
