Clevelands Goes "Wahoo" After Taking the Series from Chisox

The '99  Indians try to get back on the winning path after a tough series last round versus Boston, as they play '93 Chicago. Pitching dominates in this round, and Manny Ramirez is starting to heat up for the Injuns.

Game One: Jaret Wright and Jack McDowell pitch well, with McDowell going eight and only allowing one run. But the Indians manage to tie it at two in the top of the ninth as Omar Vizquel doubles and immediately scores on a Ramirez base hit. But in the bottom of the 10th, Chicago's Robin Ventura connects for a two run homer, his 3rd, off closer Mike Jackson to give the Chisox a 3-1 win.

Game Two: Dwight Gooden is good enough, pitching 5.1 innings of four run ball for his first win (although he looks almost done). Cleveland gets two in the fifth off a wild Alex Fernandez, who ends up walking five batters, and takes a 5-4 lead. The Indians tack on three more runs, as Ramirez knocks in three and Robby Alomar two in the 8-4 Cleveland win. 

Game Three: Chicago's Wilson Alvarez is all over the park, walking nine in 5.1 innings while only giving up one hit. The Indians, behind Bartolo Colon, take the lead in the fifth as Alvarez walks two and gives up two runs on an error and groundout. Cleveland blows it open with four runs in the eighth off Kurt McCaskill, who gives up four singles and a key leadoff double by Travis Fryman. Cleveland wins the rubber game over Chicago, 7-3.
