Dodgers and Mariners Fireworks in Statis-pro World Series

 The 2025 Statis-Pro World Series using the old classic style cards from the previous season.

It was a pair of routs to start this series.

In game one, it doesn’t matter the style of cards, Shohei Ohtani is dominant. He goes 3-4, with a double and two home runs including a grand slam. Los Angeles rolls to a 10-2 victory. The Dodgers got five solid innings from snellbl01 (5 IP, 1 ER) to get the win. The Mariners’ kirbyge01 got roughed up (5 IP, 6 ER) to take the loss.

In game two, the Mariners were determined to not be swept again. They erupted for a Statis-Pro World Series record nine home runs as they pounded the Dodgers 16-7 to even the series at 1-1. suareeu01 and arozara01 led the onslaught with two home runs each. naylojo01 went 2-5, with another homer and 4 RBI’s. multiple pitched six innings to get the win while yamamyo01 only lasted 3 2/3 and gave up six runs.

The scene shifted to Seattle and finally a close game. A wild finish saw four lead changes in the last three innings. In the 7th, edmanto01 launched a 2-run HR to give LA a 5-4 lead. But in the 8th, Josh Naylor hit his second homer of the series, and raleica01 added an RBI double to give Seattle the 7-5 lead. In the 9th both closers were a disaster. Top of the inning munozan01 gave up run scoring hits to Shohei Ohtani, freemfr01 and multiple as the Dodgers pushed four runs across to lead 9-7. Then it was Blake Treinan’s turn and with two outs and two on, raleylu01 (also fittingly know as "Nuke" Raley) blasted a 3-run walk-off homer to give the Mariners a dramatic 10-9 win. Seattle now leads the best-of-7, two games to one.

In game four, with the Dodgers feeling the pressure, they turned to Shohei Ohtani to take the mound. He responded with a spectacular outing and took a no-hitter into the eighth inning. polanjo01 broke it up with a lead-off double. After losing the shutout, Ohtani finished with a line of (7 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 12K, 3BB). The LA offense was led by bettsmo01 and Will Smith who each had 2 RBI’s. gilbelo01 had a quality start for Seattle (6 IP, 3R, 1ER), but it wasn’t enough as the Dodgers win 6-1 and even the series at two games apiece.
