Twins clinch Series
(In case you didn't notice...)

The Minnesota Twins won the
World Series for the second time
in four years. The Twins edged
out the Atlanta Braves 1-0 in the
10th inning of Game 7.
Minnesota pitcher Jack Morris
hurled a 10-inning shutout and
Gene Larkin hit the game
winning single over a drawn-in
outfield in the bottom of the 10th
inning with the bases loaded.
Morris, in three World Series
starts, won two games (1 no
decision) and had a combined
ERA of 1.17. He also
deservingly walked away with the

The game was just like the
Series: it was a dog-fight. This
was probably the best World
Series since 1975 (Cincinnati
over Boston). Every game was
won by the home team.

field and outdoor atmosphere. The
use of the designated hitter in
Minnesota to having the pitchers
take their whacks at the plate in
Atlanta. The waving of the
homer-hankies by Twins fans to
the "chop" and chanting of Braves
fans. This was just an enjoyable
series to watch.

matched. Both teams had gone
from finishing in last place the
previous year to first place and
the World Series this year. When
it came down to the wire, the
Twins got the breaks they needed
and capitalized on them. Either
team could have won the game
and the series.
World Series stars for the
Twins included: Jack Morris,
Kirby Puckett, Scott Lcius, and
rookie of the year candidate
Chuck Knoblauch. Puckett
starred both defensively and
offensively. He won Game 6
with a winning home run and
also made a great catch on a Ron
Gant line drive at the wall.
Though Minnesota won the
Series, Atlanta had nothing to be
ashamed of. They survived an 0-2
lead by the Twins and rallied to
win three straight at home. The
Braves actually led in combined
ERA, batting average, and RBl's.
Lonnie Smith (filling in for Otis
Nixon) hit 3 home runs in 3
consecutive games. Mark Lemke
batted an amazing .450 in the
World Series.
Regardless of the outcome,
everyone was treated to a
phenomenal World Series. It was
continuously entertaining and
will not be forgotten by baseball
fans. It was just too bad that one
team had to lose.
