Fabian Alicea outdueled Andrew Marenghi before a partisan Royal crowd at Fallon. Alicea was brilliant on the hill as he picked up the complete game shutout. He also knocked in the game's only run with a bases-loaded single in the first, scoring Josue Feliciano. Marenghi settled down after the first and shut down the Dodgers the rest of the night. The game ended on an unorthodox double play. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Alicea fielded a comebacker and threw to Feliciano at short for the first out. Feliciano's throw to first was just late, but Kevin Beliveau fired across the diamond to third baseman Jason Hanson. Hanson applied the tag to the runner who had taken a wide turn around third with thoughts of scoring on the play. Both teams played stellar defense throughout the game. The game was played at a high-level and was clearly a championship caliber contest.

Alicea the win and RBI, Marenghi brilliant in defeat, Gonzalez throws out both would be basestealers

The Royals jumped out to a 1st inning lead when Scott Reinhold led of the game with a HBP, followed by a Greg Kosc single. Reinhold later scored on a Jason Lewis sac fly, and Kosc scored on a single by Tom Spoth. As it turns out, that is all the support pitcher Jason Kurtz would need to win the game. Kurtz pitched a complete game 3 hitter, with the only White Sox run scoring when Al Wiesner hit a bomb that bounced off the top of the fence at Billings Field for a triple. He later scored via error. The Royals tacked on 4 insurance runs in the 7th inning off 3 hits, a walk and 2 Sox errors -- capped by a Tom Spoth double (his 2nd double of the day). Game 2 of the 3 game series will be Sunday morning.

Jason Kurtz leads Royals to win; Tom Spoth hits 2 doubles.

In dramatic extra frames, the White Sox scored first to defeat the Marlins 1-0 in walk-off style in the deciding Game 3 of the Atlantic Conference Semifinals. Al Wiesner of the White Sox was masterful, pitching 8 shutout innings, allowing only 2 hits, 2 walks and striking out 8. For the Marlins, Neil Doherty was almost as masterful, shutting out the White Sox for 7 innings, allowing only 3 hits, 2 walks and striking out 4. In the bottom of the 8th, all with no outs, Jim Baldyga reached on a misperceived fly ball to left. Dan Field then walked. Hiro then entered for the Marlins (his 3rd outing in 3 games), relieving Doherty, and walked John Howe to load the bases. Nate Pane then delivered a clean single to drive in Baldyga to lead the Sox to victory and send them to the Atlantic Conference Finals versus the Royals.

Wiesner tosses 8 inning shutout; Nate Pane delivers GWRBI.

Then with the tying and winning run on base, Eamonn McDonough finished what he started and forced a flyout to Joe Lombardi to end the game and pick up the win. Noteworthy: Dating back to the regular season, Mike McInnis has reached in 15 of 16 PA's (6 for 7 with 9 walks).

The Royals win a thriller in extra innings to advance to the Atlantic Finals. Down by scores of 7-1 and 9-4, the Yankees tied it up battling for 3 runs in the 6th and 5 runs in the 7th. This set the stage for the dramatic 8th. In the 8th, Greg Kosc made a huge defensive play throwing out the would-be game-leading run at the plate w/2 outs. In the bottom of the inning, Jason Lewis led off w a base hit and was bunted over. After a IBB to Drew Kowalevicz, with one out, Felix Villalobos delivered the winning run with a gapper to left center. Lewis had a huge day for the Royals picking up the win in relief. He also scored 4 runs on the day, and drove in 1.

Lewis comes up big on the mound, Kosc guns out potential winning run, and Felix caps a perfect day in the field with the GWRBI.
