The 2001 Henderson Cup Finals opened with a bang, as Fernando Tatis rocketed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Morgen Grinders (MOR) destroyed the Avery Tards (AVC) by a score of 16 to 3 at Busch Stadium. The Tards fans didn't appreciate the big day Tatis had. He popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 1st inning, blasted a two-run home run (his 2nd of the season) in the 4th inning and delivered a single in the 6th inning. Morgen Grinders kept the scorekeepers busy in the 1st inning with 6 runs on 5 hits and the 4th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 5 hits. The Grinders dominated offensively as they scored in 6 different innings. Carl Pavano(1-0) got the win allowing 3 runs in 8 innings. The loss was charged to Tom Glavine(0-1). He served up 3 gopher balls in 1 and 2/3 innings.

Jose Vidro cracked a homer and had 3 RBI as the Avery Tards (AVC) beat the Morgen Grinders (MOR) by a score of 7 to 3 to even the 2001 Henderson Cup Finals at one game a piece. The Tards jumped out to the early lead in the first inning scoring 4 runners on 4 hits. That early run support was enough for starter Randy Wolf(1-0), who allowed just 3 hits in 7 innings of work. The Tards ended up with 10 hits for the game while Grinders had 5. Glendon Rusch(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He pitched 1/3 of an inning and surrendered 3 hits and 2 walks.

Second baseman Fernando Vina had 4 hits as the Morgen Grinders (MOR) defeated the Avery Tards (AVC) by the score of 5 to 3 at Safeco Field, to take a 2 games to 1 lead in the Henderson Cup Finals. In the 5th inning the Grinders scored 4 runs when they had 4 base hits. The highlight belonged to Jim Edmonds who excited the crowd when he deposited a big fly over the fence for three runs (his 2nd of the season). The Grinders took care of Tards with no trouble in the 9th. Matt Herges(3-0) went 5 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Herges got relief help from Mike Remlinger who gained credit for his 1st save. Greg Maddux(2-1) was the loser. He got hit hard, allowing 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings. 'I had a little blister on my index finger before the game, but I thought it was nothing.' Herges said. I was lucky I got a win because I couldn't put the ball where I wanted it.'

The victory was credited to Manny Aybar(1-0) who went 1 and 2/3 innings, allowing no runs. Gabe White earned his 1st save. Glendon Rusch(0-2) was tagged with the loss in relief.

Simply put, this epic battle will stand as the greatest Henderson Cup Final game for many years to come. Center fielder Jim Edmonds had 2 base hits at Safeco Field as the Morgen Grinders (MOR) pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the Avery Tards (AVC) in 13 innings by the count of 3 to 2. The win propelled them to a 3 games to 2 lead in the best of seven series. With both bullpens fighting fatigue, starters Carl Pavano and Randy Wolf kept it a 1-0 game through 7 innings. A Michael Tucker homerun leading off the 9th inning for the Tards kept Avery alive and deadlocked the game at 1 after nine full innings. A tension packed 4 innings transpired before the Grinders won it in the 13th inning. Tim Bogar started the inning off right when he drew a walk. Todd Hundley stepped up to the plate and he delivered a base-hit. After an out was recorded, Darryl Hamilton came to the plate and was walked intentionally to load the bases. One out later, Mark McGwire stepped in and he drew a walk scoring a run. Edmonds stepped into the box and delivered a single giving the Morgen Grinders the victory as 44,229 happy fans celebrated wildly. Both teams finished the game with 8 hits. The win was credited to Steve Sparks(1-1) who went 4 innings of heroic relief allowing but 1 unearned run. Tom Glavine(0-2) continued his dismal series in relief and was tagged with the loss.
