Semifinal Series #1

Game One

Grinders 7, Crew 6

In an great finish the Morgen Grinders (MOR) won in dramatic fashion over the
Dou's Crew (DOU) by a score of 7 to 6 at Safeco Field.

Morgen Grinders won the game with a rally in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs
utilizing 3 base hits.  Darin Erstad led off and keyed the rally when he
lined a single.  Mark McGwire stepped up next and he bombed a two-run dinger
(his 1st of the season).  After an out was recorded, Jim Edmonds stepped in
and he drew a walk.  After another out, Lance Berkman came to the plate and
drew a walk.  Fernando Tatis stepped into the box and drew a walk to load the
bases.  Darryl Hamilton kept the rally going and laced a single giving Morgen
Grinders the win much to the delight of the home town crowd.  Dou's Crew
scored in 6 different innings, but their shaky pitching kept them from
victory.  

Byung-Hyun Kim(1-0) went 2/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory.
Julian Tavarez(0-2) took the loss in relief.  'That was exciting!,' Todd
Hundley said.  'I would have paid money to watch this one.'

Game Two

Grinders 5, Crew 1

Center fielder Jim Edmonds had 2 base hits and Matt Herges dominated striking
out 12 Dou's Crew batters as the Morgen Grinders (MOR) beat the Dou's Crew
(DOU) by a score of 5 to 1.

Herges(1-0) had a strong outing.  He surrendered only 6 hits and 2 walks in 9
innings.  After the 4th inning, neither team was able to score.  

Armando Reynoso(0-1) was the losing pitcher.  He allowed Morgen Grinders 5
runs in 3 and 2/3 innings of work.  When asked about his strikeout total for
the game, Herges offered, 'The fan's really got into it.  It is fun to see
them tally up the strikeout totals up there in the stands.  Fortunately, I
kept them busy this afternoon - of course, it would be all for naught without
the 'W'.'

Game Four

Crew 5, Grinders 4

49,687 fans watched an exciting game at The Skydome.  The Dou's Crew (DOU)
topped the Morgen Grinders (MOR) by the slimmest of margins, 5 to 4.

Dou's Crew came up with the deciding runs in the 8th inning with 2 runs using
2 hits.  After an out was recorded, Gary Sheffield got things going when he
drew a walk.  Richard Hidalgo stepped up to the plate and he doubled.  Andres
Galarraga then was walked intentionally to load the bases.  Daryle Ward came
up and he delivered a single bringing in a run.  Jeffrey Hammonds stepped
into the box and hit a sacrifice fly scoring the final run of the inning.
Morgen Grinders threatened in the 9th but Dou's Crew was able to put down the
rally.  

Bruce Chen(2-1) went 2 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Chen got help
from Robb Nen who earned his 3rd save.  Kevin Walker(0-1) was tagged with the
loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 hits and 2 walks in 1/3 of an inning.

When questioned about the loss, Mike L. Morgensen said, 'The fans got to see
an exciting game out there this afternoon.  Unfortunately, we couldn't get it
done this time.  Next time, though, we'll be the clubhouse with all the
smiles.'
