NLDS -- Serpents vs Colt 45s
Game 1
The Serpents sent Brad Radke to the mound against Javier Vazquez.
Midgard built a 3-0 lead after 3 innings but the 45s stormed back to tie the game after 4. In the 5th Radke and reliever Greg Aquino imploded and the Colts scored 8 to win the game 11-7.
Game 2
Oliver Perez pitched for the Serpents vs the Colt 45s Paul Byrd.
Atlants jumped all over Perez scoring 5 in the 1st. In the 5th and 7th innings Midgard managed to plate a run each inning, leading to a 5-2 deficit. The Serpents put a couple of runners on in the 8th and a run when Eric Gagne entered early to quell the rally. Gagne gave up a couple of hits and ended up hitting two batters including Miguel Cairo with the bases loaded to score the game winning run. Midgard stole the game winning 6-5 to tie the series up 1-1.
Game 3
The Colt 45s started rookie Bobby Madritsch against the Serpents Rodrigo Lopez. Lopez pitched in relief most of the season but earned a playoff start with his sucessful season. Madritsch must have felt a little nervous giving up 4 hits and 2 runs in the first inning and 3 hits and a run in the second. Bobby settled down after that and he combined to shut down the Serpents after that. But that ended up all the runs Midgard needed as Lopez gave up only 5 hits and a run through 8 and Antonio Osuna saved his second game for a Midgard lead in the series 2-1.
Game 4
Kevin Millwood started for Atlanta vs Midgard's Orlando Hernandez.
Being behind in the series must have given the 45s a wakeup call as they
belted out 14 hits including HRs by Chipper Jones and Mike Lowell and crushed the serpents 10-2. to tie the series 2-2.
Game 5
Brad Radke returned to the mound vs John Lackey. Atlanta used a 5 man rotation to keep it's starters fresh. It didn't seem to work as Midgard jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 5 innings. The 45s did score a couple of runs in the top of the 7th but Midgard answered with 2 of it's own in the bottom of the inning to reach the final score of 5-2.
Midgard had a game advantage after 5.
