Game 7 scenario:

Tommy Hanson vs. Francisco Leriano. Tommy Hanson is on fire. In the top of the 5th Justin Morneau comes to the plate with a runner on first. He hits a high fly ball to deep right field.... Jason Heyward climbs the wall, reaches into the front row of stands and brings the ball back and throws out the runner at first to end the innings. Hanson ends up going 8 innings as does Leriano. The score is 0-0 going into the top of the 9th. Wagner (the NL saves leader) comes in to try to shut down the heart of the Twins order. He strikes out J.J. Hardy. Joe Mauer rips a single to left. They pinch run for him and bring in Jason Pridie. Justin Morneau comes up a works the count to 3-2... Pridie runs on the pitch and Morneau hits one down the first base line....it rattles around in the corner.. Heyward picks it up as Pridie rounds third, he throws a strike to Glaus, who makes a great relay to McCann. Pridie gets under the tag, he's SAFE! Wagner goes on to retire the side. Bottom of the 9th Twins up 1-0 (could this be a repeat of 1991????) Prado leads it off.. He gets a sharp single through the right side to lead it off. Chipper now up to bat... He works the count full and ends up drawing a walk. McCann up to the plate... He pops up to the first baseman in foul territory. Glaus now up to bat... He strikes out. So now runners on first and second 2 outs with Yunel Escobar up to the plate. Escobar drills one deep to left field... but hooks foullll. Next pitch... pass ball gets by Jose Morales. Runners now on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. The count is 1-1. The next pitch.... Yunel hits a line drive over the second baseman's head into right center field. Prado scores... Chipper is rounding third, Michale Cuddyer cuts the ball off and is throwing it int to Morneau, the throw to the plate... The throw is up the first base line, Morales has it, he lunges back towards the plate, Chipper slides head first............ HE TAGS THE PLATE WITH HIS LEFT HAND BEFORE THE TAG.. HE'S SAFE!!!... BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!

Braves win in 7 games. Bobby Cox goes out on TOP!
