Fredrock Baseball Network pundits who figured the Quaterfinals between the Montreal Expos and Minnesota Twins would go the distance were right on the mark.
The two teams battled back and forth in a spirited series, with Montreal coming out on top thanks to a 8-4 win in the deciding game at Olympic Stadium, to wrap things up 2-1.
"You get to the last game and anything can happen, so we're overjoyed to come out on top," said Expos first baseman Dale Murphy, who was named series MVP.
For the series, Murphy had 5 hits for a .455 average. He had 3 home runs, 5 RBI and scored 4 runs.
