Top of the Ninth
The last chance for the Cubs rest in the hands of Theriot, Fukudome and Soriano. Two of the goats of this series have chances to be heroes.
Update: Theriot strikes out on three pitches against Broxton.
Update: Fukudome battles but grounds out to shortstop.
Update: Soriano strikes out on three pitches, appropriately swinging at a pitch in the dirt. The Dodgers win the game 3-1 and the series 3-0.
The Dodgers starters dominated, allowing three earned runs in 19 innings. They walked for and struck out 17. Against the best offense in the NL, the Dodgers staff completely shut down the Cubs.
Meanwhile, the Cubs aces didn't get the job done. They gave up 11 earned runs in 15 1/3 innings. The Dodgers, playing their youngsters with Manny Ramirez, could not be stopped. The Cubs will have to wait for the 101st anniversary of their last World Series win to try again.
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers on their first post season series win in twenty years. We're a little closer to an LA-Boston final.
