2006 World Series; Game 6
From Lp2 Wiki
Webb, Ichiro lead Rollers to their 3rd Lp2 Title!
The Ybor City Rollers counted on co-ace Brandon Webb throughout the regular season, getting 23 wins in the process. So it seemed only fitting that with a chance to finish off the Lp2 World Series they would hand the ball to their 28 year old ace.
Webb was masterful against the Finger Lakes Flashes, holding them to just a Maicer Izturis homerun in seven innings, handing the bullpen a 3-1 lead. B.J. Ryan and Joe Nathan, both acquired during the regular season, were up to the task, allowing just a Rich Aurilia homerun to seal a 5-2 victory and clinch the Rollers 3rd Lp2 title.
Mike Mussina was also brilliant in defeat, allowing just one run in six innings, striking out five. The bullpen couldn't stop the Rollers potent offense as Joel Zumaya and Brian Fuentes surrendered two runs each in the seventh and eighth innings.
Ichiro Suzuki was the catalyst the team needed, picking up four singles, stealing two bases, and driving in two runners. Joe Mauer (.458), Carlos Guillen (.478), Miguel Cabrera (.391) and World Series MVP Stan Musial (.478) all hit over .390 for the series, and were a big reason for the Rollers .318 team average and 40 runs in the six games.
"The Flashes are a fantastic organization who had an excellent season. They were playoff contenders from the outset of the season, battled 'til the very end to win the Wild Card and really turned some heads in the postseason," GM Morgan DeMarco commented. "The hard work that general manager and owner Harry Fanelli has put into that squad shows up in their team's effort, and they are a shining example of what happens when a bright GM sticks to a plan in the Lp2. We wish them all the best in the future and know that they will be a constant threat both for the Bambino Conference title as well as the Lp2 title."
Stan Musial - .478/.571/1.130, 8 runs, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 5 BB.
