World Series
Game 1 in Philadelphia


Saberhagen v. Maddux


The Phillies score 3 times in the 2nd, another in the 3rd, and get a Ron Gant HR (2) in the 5th to power out to a 6-0 lead. Maddux pitched 6 innings and the Phillies bullpen did the rest. Saberhagen had been tough in the ALCS, but gave up 8 hits in 5 innings and let the Phillies jump out to a 1-0 lead with a 7-2 victory.


Game 2 in Philadelphia
Phillies lead 1-0


Gregory v. Bannister


The Phillies took the lead again with a Ron Gant lead off HR (3) to start the game. The Angels tied it up in the 3rd, only to see the Phils put 2 on the board in the bottom. The Angels answered, the the Phillies answered, then the Angles answered again and tied it in the top of the 5th at 4 all. The Angels had closer Jeff Montgomery on the field in the bottom of the 9th when Ron Gant took one to right center field 401 feet away (4) and sent the Phillies home winners once again. Gant went 3-5, hit 2 HR's, stole 2 bases, and scored 4 times. I can hear the MVP chants starting already.


Game 3 in Anaheim
Phillies lead 2-0


Appier v. Deshaies


The Phillies take the lead again. This time in the 2nd, but the Angels had more in return this time, putting up 3 in the bottom and taking the lead for the first time in this series thanks to a Bill Doran 2-run HR (1). In the 5th the Ron Gant's would respond as Gant slammed his 5th post season HR, and 4th of the World Series, but it was only a solo homer, and the Angels would again, answer with 3 in the bottom half. Jim Deshaies pitched 7 strong innings and the Angels would go home 8-2 winners.


Game 4 in Anaheim
Phillies lead 2-1


Miller v. Witt


The Phillies took a lead right off the bat in the first inning again. They've lead in every game so far. Then went up 3-0 in the 3rd. Mike Witt got shelled, getting knocked out in the 5th, and Willie Whitehurst didn't help him out. In the 6-run Philly 5th, Magadan hit a solo-homer (1) and with the bases loaded.....yeah, it was Ron Gant yet again. Grand fucking Slam and his 6th of the post season. Magadan went 3-5 with 3 extra base hits, and the Phillies just blew the Angels out 13-4. Philly is on the brink


Game 5 in Anaheim
Phillies lead 3-1


Maddux v. Saberhagen


I guess the Angels weren't going out like that. The home crowd was in it to win it, and boy did they get it. Four hits for Doran, 3 for McGwire, 2 for Lynn, who hit his 3rd HR of the post season. Maddux was gone after 5 and Saberhagen pitched 1 out from a complete game. The Phillies lost Larry Walker to a strained oblique and the Angels crushed to the tune of 14-1.


Game 6 in Philadelphia
Phillies lead 3-2


Gregory v. Bannister


The Angels finally took the lead in a game with 3 in the first on a McGwire HR (2) off of Bannister, but the Phillies came right back with 2. The pitching took over from there and it stayed quiet as the Phills trailed. In the bottom of the 7th the crowd came alive as Chris Hoiles and Kevin McReynolds each knocked in runs and the Phillies took the lead, with 6 outs to go. Mike Schooler would put them down 1-2-3 in the 8th, and the Phillies were quiet in the 8th. The top of the 9th started with Brady Anderson leading off with a single. Tim Teufel flew out to right-center for 1. Bill Doran hit a 2-1 pitch over the short stop. Anderson didnt' stop and ended up on 3rd. Sam Horn came on to pinch hit and after a swing and miss hit a ball out to short right field. Anderson was tagging all the way and just beat the throw to tie the game up. McGwire would go down to a ground out and send it to extras. On to the 11th and Dave Staton hit a double down the left field line, and Doran followed that up with a single that scored Staton. Eric Show came on to face the Phillies and struck out all 3 to preserve the win and send this to a game 7.


Game 7 in Philadelphia
Series tied 3-3


Deshaies v. Appier


Both pitchers were on point in this one, and for once this series, the Angels vaunted staff pitched a good one. Deshaies and Appier both went 7 innings, and the only mistake either pitcher made was in the 4th. After a Doran double, and Anderson ground out, Mark McGwire pulled a sharp line drive just over the fence in left to put the Angels up 2-0. Behind, in the 7th, the Phillies lead off with singles. First and second with no outs, Keith Lockhart grounded into a double play and Chris Hoiles struck out to strand one at third. In the Phillies 8th, McReynolds lead off with a single and Stillwell walked. Gene Nelson came on to face Mark Grace. He lines out to right, but McReynolds tags. First and third. Ron Gant steps in and on a 3-2 count, Nelson gets him looking. 2 outs. NL Batting champ Magadan comes up and after falling behind 0-2, Nelson gets him to ground out weakly to third to preserve the lead. In the 9th, still 2-0, and Nelson still on the mound. Daulton leads off with a single. Keith Hughes grounds out to first, with Daulton takes 2nd. Keith Lockhart flies out to left. Down to the last out, rookie Jeff Bagwell is called on to make it happen. Nelson gets ahead of the youngster 1-2 and induces a popout to 2nd base. The Angels have done the impossible, coming back from a 3-1 deficit and the power of Ron Gant, they are the 1989 World Series Champions.
