2001 POSTSEAON

AL Wildcard Game 4
Plaza Lions at Santa Barbara Outlaws

Down two games to one, the Outlaws look to bounce back.  Tom Glavine returns
to the mound for Plaza against the Outlaws John Burkett.  The Outlaws jumped
out to a 5-0 lead after two innings, keyed by Javy Lopez's 3-run homer in the
1st.  But Glavine hung in there as the Lions climbed back into it and
eventually took the lead 6-5 in the top of the 7th.  But the Outlaws came
right back to tie it... Javy Lopez came up big again with a 2 out RBI single.
But it was Plaza's Steve Finley night to shine.  Finley, who happened to be
named the SB Outlaws MVP just a few seasons ago, showed why he liked playing
in Oceanfront Stadium as he blasted the first pitch he saw from Robb Nen into
the bleachers.  Lions held on to win, 7-6.
