Baergas Stun Regular Season Champs

The Cleveland Baergas stunned the regular season champion Denver Snow Dogs four games to one in the opening round of the playoffs to advance to the World Series.  The Baergas used their superior bullpen keep the Dogs bats in check.  The Denver bullpen could not get the job done, blowing leads late in games four and five.

Game 1

Lou Frazier Field was abuzz with excitement for the first playoff game since the Snow Dogs came to Denver and the first for the franchise since 1994. The regular season champion Snow Dogs sent ace Jose Lima (21-4) to the mound to face Cleveland ace Pedro Martinez (21-5).

The pitchers' duel disappeared early as Cleveland jumped on Lima in the top of the first. Tony Phillips led off with a walk, then Omar Vizquel singled and stole second. Johnny Damon grounded out to score Phillips, and then Lima walked Fred McGriff. Manny Ramirez follwed with an RBI single, and after Henry Rodriguez struck out, Darren Fletcher singled in another run to make it 3-0. The Dogs intentionally walked Jose Vidro and got Martinez to ground out and end the inning.

The Dogs responded quickly in the bottom of the first. Kenny Lofton led off with a single and Tony Ferndandez doubled him in. Dave Nilsson grounded out and then Jim Thome slammed a two run homer to tie the game 3-3 and ignite the crowd.

Unfortunately for Denver, their joy was short-lived. Phillips led off the second with another walk and stole second. He advanced to third on Vizquel's ground out and scored on a sac fly by Damon to put Clevelan back up 4-3. The Baergas upped the lead to 5-3 on a homer by Darren Fletcher in the top of the third.

Both pitchers settled down and neither team threatened until the bottom of the fifth. Craig Grebeck pinch hit for Lima and led off with a single. Lofton bunted him to second, but Fernandez grounded out and Nilsson flew out to end the threat.

The Baergas rallied in the top of the 6th. Eric Davis pinch hit for Rodriguez and led off with a walk off Greg Swindell. Ramon Hernandez pinch hit for Fletcher, so Denver manager Tim Teufel contered with Scott Kamieniecki and in a double switch brought F.P. Santangelo in to play rightfield with Ben Grieve moving to left and Tony Fernandez came out of the game. Hernandez singled and Lofton gunned down Davis at third with Hernandez going to second. Virdo was intentionally walked and Martinez sacrificed the runners over. Yorkis Perez came in to face Phillips and the Real Carlos Baerga countered with Mike Lowell. Perez struck him out to escape the jam.

Cleveland had another chance to pad the lead in the 7th. Damon doubled with one out, and McGriff grounded to short for the second out. Mike Timlin came in to face Ramirez and intentionally walked him, and then got Davis to ground out and end the threat.

Denver cut it to 5-4 in the bottom of the inning when Grieve led off with a homer.

The Dogs had a chance to tie in the 8th. Martinez walked Thome with two outs and Shumpert singled him to third. But Alfonzo grounded out to end the inning.

Mike Remlinger came on to pitch the 9th for Denver. Damon singled with one out but was caught stealing.

Martinez struck out Grieve and got Dave Hanson to ground out to start the bottom of the ninth. But he walked Santangelo and then Lofton singled, sending the tying run to third with two outs. Kevin Millar pinch hit for Remlinger and Clevleand brought in Rick Aguilera. Aguilera hit Millar with a pitch to load the bases for Dave Nilsson. The Real Carlos Baerga brought in BIlly Wagner. Denver let Nilsson hit and Wagner struck him out to end the game.

Game 2

After a tough loss in the opener, the Snow Dogs looked to get back on track in game 2, sending Livan Hernandez (19-6) to the mound against Kenny Rogers (13-12).

Starting lineups

Cleveland    Denver

Phillips 3b    Curtis CF
Vizquel SS    Santangelo RF 
Damon CF    Shumpert 3b 
McGriff 1b    White LF 
Ramirez RF    Johnson C 
Rodriguez LF    Millar 1b 
Velarde 2b    Alfonzo 2b 
Fletcher C    Ordonez SS 
Rogers P    Hernandez P

The first inning was much more uneventful than game one. Vizquel hit a one-out single in the top of the first but was stranded. In the bottom of the inning, Curtis led off with a double and was also stranded.

Things heated up in the top of the second. Hernandez hit Ramirez leading off, then Rodriguez grounded into a force out. Velarde follwed with a single and then Fletcher walked to load the bases. The real Carlos Baerga pinch hit Erubiel Durazo for Rogers. Tim Teufel countered by bringing in Swindell, and Baerga responded with Glenallen Hill. Swindell came through and struck out Hill and then got Phillips to ground out and escape the jam.

Denver got the only run of the game in the bottom of the second. Bob Wells came in to pitch and got Charles Johnson to ground out. Millar singled and Alfonzo followed with a single to send Millar to third. Ordonez hit a sac fly to score Millar, and then Wells struck out Swindell to end the inning.

Cleveland rallied in the third. McGriff doubled with two outs and Swindell intentionally walked Ramirez to face Rodriguez. Baerga let him hit and he grounded out to end the inning.

The Dogs tried to pad the lead in the bottom of the inning. Lofton led off with a single and Santangelo bunted him to second. Shumpert flew out, and then Tony Fernandez pinch hit for White and grounded out.

Denver threatened again in the fourth. Johnson led off with a walk, and after Millar flew out, Alfonzo singled him to third. But Ordonez grounded into a double play to end it.

The next scoring threat came in the top of the 6th. Denver brought Mike Timlin in and he got McGriff and Ramirez to start the inning. But he walked Rodriguez and then Velade singled, but Fletcher flew out.

Clevleand brought Alan Embree in to start the bottom of the inning. He walked Shumpert and then got Fernandez to fly out and struck out Johnson. Shumpert stole second but Millar grounded out.

The chess match heated up in the top of the 7th. Jose Vidro pinch hit for Embree and lined out, then Phillips worked a walk. Paul Shuey came in to face Vizquel and got him to fly out. Then Mike Remlinger came in to face Damon in a double switch with Thome coming in to play first, and Damon grounded out.

The Baergas threatened again in the 8th. McGriff led off with a double and Ramirez was intentionally walked. Kirk Rueter pinch hit for Rodriguez and sacrificed the runners over. Velarde was intentionally walked to load the bases for Fletcher. Cleveland left him in to face Remlinger and he grounded into a double play and Denver escaped.

Pat Mahomes came in to start the 9th for Denver and got the Baergas 1-2-3 to save it.

Ramirez RF    Shumpert 3b 
McGriff DH    Fernandez DH

The Dogs had a great chance to take the early lead in the first but couldn't capitalize. Dave Hansen grounded out, then Rueter walked Curtis and Santangelo. The runners advanced on a passed ball, but Rondell White grounded out and the runners held. Shumpert was intentionally walked to load the bases and Rueter struck out Fernandez to end the inning.

The Baergas quickly responded as Phillips led off the bottom of the inning with a homer to put Cleveland up 1-0.

Denver rallied again in the second. Johnson led off with a double and Thome followed with a walk. Alfonzo ripped a single to score Johnson and tie the game. Cleveland brought in Billy Wagner and he struck out Ordonez and got Curtis to ground into an inning-ending double play. That was the last hurrah for the Dogs.

The Baergas took the lead for good in the third. Fletcher flew out and Phillips struck out, but then Vizquel and Damon hit back to back doubles. Yorkis Perez came in to pitch and Jose Vidro pinch hit for Durazo. Vidro came through with another double and Cleveland led 3-1. Perez intentionally walked Ramirez and got McGriff to line out to get out of the inning.

The top of the fourth was the Billy Wagner show as he struck out th side in order. He ended the game with 7 Ks in 4 innings.

Cleveland tried to pad the lead in the 4th. Rodriguez struck out and Velarde and Fletcher followed with two singles. Mike Remlinger came in to pitch, and Mike Lowell pinch hit for Phillips. Remlinger struck him out and then got Vizquel to pop out.

The Baergas put the game away in the 5th. Damon and Vidro led off with singles. Mike Timlin came in to face Ramirez and got him to fly out. Swindell came in to face McGriff and walked him to load the bases. Glenalleh Hill pinch hit for Rodriguez and Denver countered with Paul Shuey. Hill greeted him by crushing one over the leftfield wall for a grand slam and a 7-1 lead.

Cleveland added one in the 6th on an RBI single by McGriff that scored Vidro. Denver showed a little life in the top of the 7th when Alfonzo ripped a two run homer , but that was all they could get.

The Baergas added the exclamation point in the 8th. Velarde lined a two run triple and then Fletcher followed with a two-run shot to make the final 12-3.

Game 4

The Snow Dogs desperately needed a win in Game 4, and they'd have to beat Pedro Martinez. Denver countered with their ace Jose Lima in a rematch of Game 1.

Starting Lineups

Cleveland    Denver 
Phillips 3b    Hansen SS 
Vizquel SS    Lofton CF 
Damon CF    Fernandez DH 
Durazo DH    Nilsson C 
Ramirez RF    Thome 1b 
McGriff Ib    Shumpert LF 
Rodriguez LF    Alfonzo 2b 
Vidro 2b    Grieve RF F
letcher C    Grebeck 3b

The Dogs quickly showed once again that Pedro isn't invicible when Kenny Lofton lined a solo homer in the top of the first to give Denver a quick 1-0 lead.

But the Baergas showed they can hit Denver's ace. After getting a quick two outs in the bottom of the first, Damon doubled and Durazo followed with a titanic blast to give Cleveland a 2-1.

Denver responded in the second. With one out, Alfonzo walked and Grieve followed with an RBI double to tie the game.

The Cleveland offense kept it up in teh bottom of the inning with another two-out rally. Vidro doubled and Lima intentionally walked Fletcher to get to Phillips. But it backfired as Lima walked him to load the bases for Vizquel, who came through in a big way with a two run double to give the Baergas a 4-2 lead.

Pedro looked like Pedro in the third, striking out the side in order. In the bottom of the inning, Durazo led off with a single, and two outs later, Rodriguez singled. Vidro then made it 6-2 with a two run double and sent Lima to the showers.

Neither team threatened in the fourth and the Baergas seemed to be cruising with Pedro and a four run lead. But in the top of the fifth, the unthinkable happened. Grieve led off with a double and Grebeck struck out. Then Ordonez singled, and Lofton followed with an RBI double. Fernandez walked to load the bases, but Pedro struck out Nilsson (0-for-12 in the series, the bum). That brought up Jim Thome, who gave the Dogs new life in the game and the series by slamming one into the upper deck for a grand slam and a 7-6 Denver lead. The Dogs weren't done yet and Shumpert singled and Alfonzo walked, but Pedro got Grieve to ground out and end the inning.

Denver padded the lead in the sixth. Grebeck led off iwth a walk and Ordonez sacrificed him to second. Lofton drilled a double to make it 8-6.

The Dogs continued to pour it on Pedro in the 7th. Thome led off with a walk and Shumpert bunted him over. Alfonzo singled in Thome, and after Grieve grouned out, Pedro hit Grebeck. Ordonez came up and singled in Alfonzo to make it 10-6 Denver.

But the Baergas would not die. Mike Lowell pinch hit for Durazo leading off the 7th and Denver brough in Pat Mahome. Lowell singled and Ramirez followed with another single. Mike Remlinger came in and Cleveland countered with Rand Vlearde, who walked to lod the bases. Glenallen HIll pich hit for Rodriguez and Denver countered with Timlin. Timlin struck out Hill, but Vidro singled in a run. Timling then struck out Fletcher, but he hit Phillips to force in another run before getting Vizquel to ground out.

Marc Wilins pitched a 1-2-3 8th for Cleveland, and then the Baergas wasted no time in the bottom of the inning. Damon led off with a single and then Mike Lowell ripped a two run shot to tie the game 10-10 and knock out Timlin. Kamieniecki came in and walked two batters but escaped further damage.

Denver threatened in the 9th. Brad Clontz came in to pitch and walked Alfonzo with one out. Cleveland brought Bob Wells in and he walked Santangelo. But the Dogs couldn't capitalize as White grounded out and Ordonez struck out.

Phillips led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk and went to second on a groundout by VIzquel. Damon was intentionally waked and Kamieniecki struck uot Lowell and got Ramirez to line out and send the game to extra innings.

Wells got Denver 1-2-3 in the top of the 10th. Velarde led off the bottom of the inning with a ground out and then Hill reached on a two-base error by White. Yorkis Perez came in and intentionally walked Vidro. Ramon Hernandez pinch hit for Fletcher and Denver brought in Shuey. He struck out Hernandez, then walked Phillips to load the bases. But Vizquel lined out to end the rally.

Denver took the lead in the top of the 11th on a solo homer by Shumpert. But the Baergas would not die. Damon led off the bottom of the inning with a double and Kirk Rueter pinch hit for Lowell and sacrificed him to third. Ramirez followed with a single to tie the game 11-11.

The Dogs threatened in the 12th when Lofton hit a two-out triple, but Fernandez popped out to end the inning. Cleveland won it in the bottom of the inning with Ramon Hernandez hit a one-out homer to give the Baergas the 12-11 win.
