With the Des Moines Dragon home crowd of 41,090 in attendance, the two time world champions go to game #7 against the upstart Newton Panthers led by manager Trey Vanderlaan in just his first year of duty. The Panthers wasted little time getting a lead off hit by Pedroia, a walk by Werth and an RBI single by Jason Bay to give the visitors a 1-0 lead in the top half. Hanley Ramirez led off the bottom half with a double and Lance Berkman singled him in to tie the game at 1-1 after 1 inning. Things remained that way until the bottom half of the 3rd when second baseman Chase Utley hit a big fly to give the home team Dragons a 2-1 lead. Both Haren and Hernandez would settle down as things remained at 2-1 until the the bottom of the 8th when Hanley got things going again with a 1 out single. Up stepped Chase Utley who once again hit a big fly to blow the game open to 4-1 Dragons. Later a Berkman and A-rod back to back doubles plated another Dragon runner. Varitek would later tack on another run to give standing home crowd a 6-1 lead with just one inning left to play. Alexi Ramirez got things kicked off for the Panthers in the 9th with a single to left field. Hoffman was brought on and he closed things out 1,2,3 to finish off the Panthers and give the Dragons a 3rd straight World Series Championship. Felix Hernandez was credited with the win even though he wasn't all that sharp going 6 1/3 giving up 6 hits, 4 walks, but only giving up 1 run, and striking out 4. The Dragon bullpen took it from there going 3 innings giving up only 1 hit and walking 1 and no runs. Dan Haren was the loser going 6 innings giving up 5 hits, 2 runs, and striking out 5. Chase Utley was the hitting star for Dragons as he went 2-4 with 2 homers and 3 RBI's. Alex Rodriguez was given the World Series MVP hitting .320 for the series with 4 homers and 10 rbi's. King Felix won two games in the series giving up 3 runs in 3 games and striking out 16. Pedroia and Howard were the leaders for the Panthers getting on base, but just couldn't generate the runs to pull off the series. Print files and subsets attached! A big congrats to my son Trey who got to the World Series in his first year in the league. Guys we had a great time together playing these games and talking a little baseball. I will never forget it! Now on to the trade talk! Thanks for a great year everybody! Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NOMBL" group.
