Game 5: The best pitching duel of them all as Chuck Finley and Jon Lieber went head to head. The only run in the 1-0 Cougar win came in the 4th. Frank Thomas made amends for his strikeout to end game 4 with a mammoth homerun to lead off the inning. That was all she wrote. Finley was superb as he allowed only 4 hita and 4 walks while striking out 11!!!! Lieber allowed 7 hits and 1 walk as he struck out 6. Carmona pitched the 9th and added a k to the totals. Even though I lost, it was an awesome game.
