 | Blue Sox Prevail, as League Championship Series Goes to the Wire Monday, September 25th, 1995 The fans in Sydney are delirious, while there is little joy to be found in Naperville. The Sydney Blue Sox finished off the Naperville Giants 2-1 in the deciding game of the League Championship Series played at Silverbacks Ballpark. They took the series 4-3 and will now head to the World Series. For his standout play, Sydney first baseman Butch Schmidt was voted the series' Most Valuable Player. He batted .333, drove in 1 runs and scored 5 to lead his club to victory. "We could never really figure out how to pitch to Schmidt and that doomed us," said Giants manager . "Hats off to Sydney, though. That was a great series." The Sydney Blue Sox don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Manchester Bobcats - Las Vegas Hairy Nuts series. Las Vegas leads the series 3 games to 2. The World Series schedule will be announced after the League Championship Series finishes. |   |
