Summary- Arrieta throws a shutout while Bautista leads the offense with 2 HRs a
 double,a triple and a walk as the Rebels romp. However the team ignores Manager
 Bart's warning to save some of these runs. This will prove to be prescient.

Highlights- After hearing that they haven't scored in 27 innings Cruz hits 2 run
 homer to tie it up in the 5th. Two innings later Machado homers for his first
 hit of the series to take the lead. Once again Bart has cold dice.

Game-6

HR:	Machado (3rd, 2 on)
	Crawford (5th, 0 on)

Highlights- Machado hits 3 run homer in the 3rd and York hangs on as Lynn wins
 in his last game for York. 

Playoff highlights- I was the recipient of some extremely cold dice of my
 opponents, both Paul and Bart were certainly more gracious about their very
 frustrating rolls than I would have been, and I do want to thank them for that.
 I would never have thought I could win when scoring 13 runs in 6 games. And I
 wish I could say it was great managing but it was just luck. Looking forward to
 next year and hope you all have a happy holiday season.
