******************************************************************* GAME FIVE -- Caution (Jimenez) at Minutemen (Santana). With the series tied up at 2, there would be at least a game 6, so game 5 would determine who had the inside track at advancing to the 2008 CDBL World Series. In the top of the 2nd, Brandon Boggs walked, moved to 2nd on a walk to Ronny Paulino, moved to third on a sac bunt from Mark Ellis and scored on a groundout from pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. In the 3rd, with 2 on and 2 out, Boggs smacked a double, scoring 2 runs to put the Caution up 3-0. In the top of the 7th, Alphaville still up by 3, Mark Ellis got a leadoff walk, then pinch hitter Ian Stewart doubled, putting Ellis at third. Willie Bloomquist hit a grounder to third, which was thrown home for the out. Still 3-0 Caution. With 1 out, Kevin Youkilis knocked a base hit, scoring Stewart and advanced Bloomquist to 3rd. Ryan Garko hit a sacrifice fly, making it a 5-0 Caution ballgame. In the bottom of the 7th, Concord put themselves on the board with an RBI double from Chipper Jones. Concord had another scoring chance in the 8th, loading the bases with 2 outs off of Hideki Okajima, but Okajima got Gabe Kapler to fly out to end the inning. 5-1 Caution after 8. Okajima was still pitching for the Caution in the bottom of the 9th with a 4 run lead. First batter up, Ramon Santiago, walked. David Murphy grounded into a double play, zeroing out the bases with 2 outs. Chipper Jones hit a line out to record the final out of the game. Alphaville wins game 5 by a score of 5-1, and are a win away from advancing to the CDBL World Series.
