7th Inning Stretch - NLCS Games 3-5 Results

[Eric Oddson]

Vancouver visits Beaumont with the National League Championship Series tied at 1 game apiece.

Game 3 has Tony Gonsolin as the starting pitcher for the Knights, Beaumont counters with Ian Anderson.

The difference in this game is a 6th inning 2 run homer by none other than Brett Gardner.  Vancouver wins it 4-1.  Gonsolin and the Vancouver relief core of Yardley, Minter & Martin nail down a 6 hit performance.

Pivotal Game 4 - Shane Bieber vs Beaumont's Merrill Kelly.

What should have amounted to a pitchers duel was a bit of a slugfest.  In this another year of the homer, Vancouver matched Beaumont's 3 round trippers.  The crushing blow was delivered by none other than defensive replacement, 2nd string catcher Manny Pina putting the nail in Beaumont's coffin with a huge 9th inning 2 run home run.  Final is 10-7 Vancouver.

Game 5 - Backs against the wall, Beaumont sends ace Trevor Bauer and he plays stopper going 7.2 innings allowing just 1 run while striking out 13.  Charlie Blackmon has 2 RBI providing just enough offense and the RAMs win 3-1.

Beaumont's lineups are set with this file for the finale back on the West Coast.
