Maniax at ACL's:
Lopez vs Paxton

Lopez had a rough day. 4.2 innings pitched, 7 hits, 5 ER (although he did strike out

. He also had a balk and 2 plunked a couple guys.

ACL's win behind HR by Soto, Encanacion, and Lindor.

ACL's win 6-1 and force a G7

Brewers at Bums:
Clevinger vs James

This one was wild...

The Brewers took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the 8th. Arenado reached on a error by newly inserted pitcher Vincent. The Bums took advantage of the error, scored a couple runs, and were 3 outs from reaching the World Series.

Hader tried to close it out for the Bums like he has all season, but he's been shaky this postseason. A single, SB, and walk ended his night. In comes Knebel who gives up a single to Cron to tie the game 2-2.

Bottom of the 9th - Bums get a couple runners on base, but Alonso hit into a DP. Free baseball!

Top of the 10th - walk, SB, walk, double, FC (finally Brendt pulls the plug on Knebel), run scoring sac fly = 6-2 lead for the Brewers. Knebel with an ugly line - 2/3 of an inning, 2 hits, 3 walks, 4 runs.

Bottom of the 10th - new RP Wick = HR allowed. new RP Gott = HR allowed.
Lets try someone else. New RP Zamora = 3 K's (with a single given up in between). That's the ball game folks.

Brewers win 6-4 and we're headed for G7
