The Baseball Maelstrom… – Where Legends Come Alive

Boston Wins World Series!

For 5 innings, the Houston Hoots battled the Boston Splinters in hopes of forcing a Game 7. In the end, Boston won Game 6 in the same way they've won throughout the series: with timely pitching and a relentless offense. For the 5th time in 6 games, Boston scored in the 1st inning, this time with a George Brett sacrifice fly that scored the speedy Ichiro Suzuki. Houston starter Phil Niekro allowed just one hit over the next 4 innings. Boston starter Roy Halladay saw some redemption. Halladay got knocked out in the 3rd inning of Game 3. This time, Halladay carried a shutout into the 5th before Ernie Lombardi's solo home run tied the game 1-1. Niekro finally faltered in the 6th, allowing singles to Suzuki and Alan Trammell before George Brett took a 1-1 pitch deep to right field for a 3-run homer. Boston would add to their lead in the next inning too. Roberto Clemente's pinch-hit single in the 8th made it a 7-2 game, but Rollie Fingers made sure that was as close as Houston would get, pitching a scoreless 9th to seal the World Series win. Brett was an offensive force in the World Series, batting .500, hitting 2 homers, and driving in 9 runs. Five of those runs came in Game 6 alone. With the Detroit Rockets' World Series win last year, an American League team has now won both POPs League World Series.
