Raleigh with a lead-off HR to start the 5th and extend the Mariner lead to 3-1. I have a feeling it’s going to take 6 or 7 runs to hang a W up on the board in this game 7.
Getting slightly worried here as we head to the top of the 7th in a 3-1 Seattle ballgame. My simulated game had this one tied 4-4 after 6 complete, with the Jays winning 5-4.
I really don’t understand the IBB to Raleigh with 2 outs and the bases empty. I’m entirely aware that he ripped 60 regular season HR’s, but he ain’t Bonds…
Bassitt makes quick and easy work of the Mariners in the visitor half of the 8th as Seattle now only has 3 outs left in the bank. Boy, Springer really came thru with what was undoubtedly the biggest Blue Jay blast since Joe Carter ended the ’93 WS with a 3 run tater off of the “Wild Thing.”
Blue Jays win the AL pennant with a 4-3 final in game 7 of the ALCS as they advance to the ’25 WS to face the Dodgers. Well, I got the easy one right…Haha!
