Semifinal Games 1 and 2Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1960kp/1963ps/standings1.htmlHighlights: NORTH Divisional Championship - Portland vs. Vancouver - POR leads 2-0 Vancouver fell behind early in game 1, but rallied in the top of the 9th and fell just short of pulling even with Portland, eventually losing 9-7. The Mounties led off the inning down 9-3 and put together back to back 2-out HRs by Bob Allison and Don Mincher before the final out was recorded by the Beavers Bill Dailey. Mincher and Allison both had 2 HRs in the game, but it was not enough thanks to Johnny Blanchard's 4 RBIs and Willie Mays 3 RS. The ball was flying out of the park with the teams combining for 7 HRs. Game 2 proved to be a day of missed opportunities for Vancouver and timely pitching by Portland. The Mounties left 14 runners on base in the 3-0 loss to SP Jack Kralick. Kralick pitched out of jams in almost every inning to record the victory. SOUTH Divisional Championship - Tidewater vs. Louisville - series tied 1-1 Tidewater's Jim Maloney and Camilo Pascual were able to quiet the Colonels bats in the opening 2 games of the series, holding them to 7 runs in 2 games. The Tides pulled together enough offense to win the opening game against Sandy Koufax 5-3, but could only push 1 run across the plate against Dick Ellsworth in the game 2 defeat.

Ed Bailey, Bill White and SP Milt Pappas all went yard for Louisville putting the game out of reach in the 7th.

Louisville jumped out quickly to set the tone for game 4, sending 8 batters to the plate in the 1st inning, capped of by a HR by Ed Bailey to open up a 4 run lead. That's all SP Dick Ellsworth needed, holding Portland to 2 runs on 4 hits for the CG victory. The Colonels decisive win set up the teams for a pivotal game 5. Fans from both teams were treated to one of the best games of the 60s, watching Sandy Koufax and Jack Kralick exceed their game 2 exploits with remarkable outings on the mound. Koufax left the bump after 11 innings of shutout ball, striking out 11 and only allowing 6 hits. Kralick delivered an even more impressive performance for the Beaver's, also tossing 11 scoreless innings, allowing only 2 hits with 8 Ks. Both pitchers gave their all with the season on the line, leaving with matching no decisions. Portland turned the ball over to Bill Dailey, who was 12-5 on the season out of the bullpen for the Beavers with a 2.15 ERA. Dailey proceeded to hit the first batter he faced, watch a ground ball go through Wayne Causey's legs, and then duck from a clean base hit up the middle off of the bat of Carl Yastrzemski to give the Colonels a 1-0 going into the bottom of the inning. Louisville brought in their closer Hal Woodeshick to seal the game, coming off of a regular season 9-4 record with 11 saves, 1.85 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. All went as planned, with Woodeshick retiring the 1st 2 batters, but Portland wasn't ready to concede.

After some discussion in the dugout, Causey was sent to the plate and DELIVERED! A clean walkoff double, driving in 2 runs and locking up the win for Portland.

The Beavers scratched a run across the plate in the 5th, and then another to tie the game in the 8th on a solo shot by Willie Mays. The Colonels answered back in the bottom of the 8th to take a 3-2 lead on a 2 out base hit by Carl Yastrzemski, driving in Albie Pearson. Louisville decided to leave the game in the hands of their 24 win pitcher, Dick Ellsworth, in the top of the 9th with the 1 run lead. The inning unraveled quickly for Ellsworth, walking leadoff hitter Ernie Banks, watching a grounder get booted by Zoilo Versalles, giving up a sac bunt to Ron Hunt, and then a pinch hit 2 RBI single to Jerry Lynch, giving the Beavers the lead, 4-3. Portland failed to rally in the bottom of the 9th after watching the lead that they had held most of the game evaporate, stranding Brooks Robinson on 1st base after his 2 out single.
