2007 American League Division Series

SALEM, VA -- The Jersey Damage Inc pulled off an upset of the Salem Scythe and are heading to their first League Championship Series.  The series MVP was David Ortiz, who hit .389 with 2 HR and 14 walks, 7 of them intentional.

Game 1 -- The Scythe take game one behind the great pitching of Kelvim Escobar.  Escobar went 7 innings holding Jersey to 2 runs while Cuddyer and Mauer each hit solo HR's.

Game 2 -- Jersey stole game 2 via an 8th inning wild picth taking the game 5-4.  Lackey was strong while Scot Shields had a 2 inning save.

Game 3 -- The pivotal game of the series saw Jersey smoke Salem scoring 12 runs total.  Omar Vizquel was a perfect 5 for 5 with 6 RBI in the game.  Ortiz homered.

Game 4 -- The Slyme take this 14 inning marathon 7-4.  There were 36 combined strike outs in the game.  Bulpens were fried, leading to the controversal move in game 5.  Series tied 2-2.

Game 5 -- Jersey takes the 3-2 series lead with a 6-5 win in game 5.  Dontrelle Willis got the start and gave up 5 hits to the first 11 batters he faced and was pulled in favor of Jason Schmidt.  Willlis' ERA was 7.04 for the series.  Schmidt held the Scyhe to 2 runs over 3 innings while Jersey held tough.  Mike Rivera's pinch hit grand salami in the 8th tied the game which was then won in the bottom of the 12th. 

Game 6 -- Salem jumped out to an early 3-1 lead but Jersey battled back and won the game 8-4.  Lackey went 6 innings giving way to Jamie Walker and Jon Huber for the final 3.  With the pen tired, Walker and Huber were just what Jersey needed.  8 1/3 scoreless innings from the duo during the series.  Jersey wins 4 games to 2 to advance to the ALCS.
