WORLD SERIES GAME 4 - YANKEES WIN WS!
YANKEES WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!!
The 2009 New York Yankees are the newest champions of the Baseball Classic League! They defeated the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series 4-0.
They won the game 8-7 as the Pirates tried to make a comeback but it was too little too late. The win was a team effort despite the poor pitching from Phil Hughes. He was quickly pulled in the 5th inning when the Yankees got down 4-1 and things started to look dire for NY. After that, the Yankees chipped away at Pirates starter Bruce Kison who finally cracked in the 6th inning. Even Stargell and Clemente couldn't bring back the Pirates in this game or series. Mariano Rivera got his 2nd save to close out the game with a groundball to Derek Jeter to start the celebration in the Bronx.
The Yankees move onto the next league, BCL8, which will be debuted soon.
Player of the Game - Nick Swisher
Player of the Series - Willie Stargell
