Seattle Takes First Round 2 Loos and out in Deciding Game Monday, April 7th, 1947 The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat were on full display tonight at Kentucky Park as the First Round 2 Loos and out stretched to the final game. It was the Seattle Mariners feeling the thrill of victory, with a 5-1 win over the Kentucky Giants, who were feeling the devastation of coming up short in their quest to make the Semi-Finals. "There's no way around it -- this sucks," said Kentucky manager Roger Snell. "Congratulations to Seattle, but I won't sugarcoat it, no one is happy about anything that transpired here tonight." Instrumental in the 2-1 series win was first baseman Don Mattingly, who was named MVP. He hit .462 with a .462 on-base percentage. He had 0 home runs, drove in 4 RBI and scored 1 runs. "We've got the most important stat of all and that's this final win -- that's the one that matters," he said. The Seattle Mariners will play against the Milwaukee Brewers in the next round. Milwaukee won their series against the Union Township Sodbusters 2 games to 0. The Semi-Finals is scheduled to begin on April 8th, 1947. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
