2006 CDBL PLAYOFF PREVIEW Round 0 Milwaukee Pilots (95-67, #2 League Wildcard) vs. Georgia Pines (99-63, #1 League Wildcard) In the first half of the season, the Pilots were flying high, posting the best record at the break (narrowly holding off the Pines) and hosted the all-star game. Then in the 2nd half they collapsed, even dropping out of playoff contention late in the season before clawing back to the #2 league wildcard in the final weeks. Nomar Garciaparra hit .322 with 25 home runs, 99 runs scored and 96 RBI, while Ichiro Suzuki hit .320 with 93 runs scored and 36 stolen bases. Carl Crawford added 86 runs scored and 48 stolen bases, while Vernon Wells hit 29 home runs with 106 runs scored and 94 RBI. Chase Utley drove in 112 runs, and Jorge Posada hit 25 home runs with 94 runs scored. Mid-season acquisition Miguel Tejada was hot, hitting .381 with 13 home runs, 54 runs scored and 60 RBI in 291 at bats. Jason Jennings won 17 games with a 3.35 ERA, and Jeremy Bonderman won 13 games with a 3.91 ERA. Jesse Crain hoovered up 37 saves, although sported a 3-11 W/L record and a 4.46 ERA. The Pines had an epic 18 game winning streak right up to the all-star break and nearly won the honor to host the all-star game. In the 2nd half they led the Tiant division for most of the season before losing the division race to Boston. Jason Bay had a monster year, hitting 49 home runs with 123 runs scored and 127 RBI. Mark Teahen hit 23 home runs with 86 runs scored, and Omar Vizquel had 79 runs scored and 23 stolen bases. Reed Johnson hit .301 and scored 104 runs, while Jason Kendall had a .354 batting average with 64 runs scored and 72 RBI. Vincete Padilla went 14-8 with a 4.15 ERA, and Justin Verlander won 12 games with a 3.91 ERA. Saves were scattered throughout the bullpen, with Dennys Reyes leading the way with 14. The team's 3.68 ERA was 2nd best in the majors. In 12 regular season games, the Pilots won the season series 7 games to 5. In this short 3 game series the Pilots have home field advantage, earning the right to host games 1 and 3 (if necessary). ******************************************************************* GAME ONE -- Pilots (Jennings) at Pines (Verlander).

Vernon Wells hit a solo home run in the bottom of the inning to cut the Pines' lead to 1. In the bottom of the third, with 2 on and 0 outs, Vernon Wells came through again, smacking a base hit to tie the game up at 2.

The Pines scored a run in the 7th with a pinch hit home run by Daryle Ward. The game would head into the top of the 9th with the Pilots leading 7-3. Milwaukee closer Keith Foulke was on the mound, working on his 2nd inning. Foulke started out the 9th iffy, giving up a leadoff home run to Kevin Millar to cut the lead to 3. Foulke settled down after that, recording 3 straight outs, including 2 strikeouts. Milwaukee wins game 2 by a score of 7-4 to force a decisive game 3, with the winner advancing in the playoffs.

With the series tied at 1 win each, this one was for all of the Round 0 marbles. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Mark Teahen hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a groundout from Kevin Millar, moved to third on a flyout from Jay Payton, and scored on a base hit from Howie Kendrick. 1-0 Pines after 2. In the 3rd inning, Jason Bay and Mark Teahen were issued walks. With 1 out, Payton doubled, scoring a runner. Howie Kendrick walked to load the bases. Omar Vizquel smacked a double, scoring 2 runs to make it a 4-0 Georgia contest. The Pines were not done, scoring 3 more in the 5th to chase Dave Bush from the game. 2005 CDBL Playoff MVP Pedro Martinez shined for his new team, throwing 6 1/3 strong innings, giving up a single run of his own when replacement pitcher Chris Sampson allowed Martinez' runner on base to score in the 7th. Sampson gave up a total of 4 runs over his 2 1/3 innings of relief, but the game was never in doubt. The Pines win game 3 by a score of 8-4 and advance to Round 1 of the playoffs.
