Mariners Advance on J-Rods Steals and Woo's Final 4 IP

After advancing past the New York Yankees on two walk-off homers without ever otherwise leading the best-of-three series, the Seattle Mariners won a decisive Game 4 in a 2-1 win in the 10th inning despite being held to only two hits in the game.

The Mariners took advantage of a weak catcher's throwing arm (T-C for throwing arm C) as Julio Rodríguez walked in the sixth inning, then used his AAA Speed (best rating and rare in Statis-Pro baseball) to steal 2nd and 3rd base before using his On-base Running (OBR A) to race home on a sacrifice fly by Randy Arozarena to tie the game 1-1. 

In the 10th inning, Cal Raleigh drew a walk, Sam Haggerty pinch ran and stole 2nd and 3rd base, then also raced home on a sac fly by Mitch Garver to end the game and the series 2-1. The Mariners only two hits were in the 4th inning, and did not result in a run.

The key to the series was the Mariners' 2.50 team ERA,closed out by four perfect innings by 24 year old Bryan Woo in his first appearance of the series. Woo will have the best Statis-Pro card on the team next year after an incredible 2.89 ERA in 22 starts in the reason season with an incredible 101 strikeouts to only 13 walks and 9-3 mark. His projected card for this season was a solid PB 2-7,but that still left him out of our 4-man Statis-Pro rotation, but in this simulated game he pitched as though he were already using the new card with 12 straight batters retired.

The win gave the Mariners three straight wins to advance after losing the opener. They now face the winner of the Guardians-Twins series, and the winner of that series gets the LA Dodgers who already won our Statis-Pro NL series.

Here are the combined Mariners stats for the series as well as key ranges on the Statis-Pro cards. We list the batters stats for the four games combined, but for the pitchers list the stats for each of the 4 games.

The Cardinals won Game 1 of the series, as they and the Mets played in the Statis-Pro AL this season due to some juggling, while all other NL teams played in our Montana league and these games were played in our Milwaukee league.
