A team of destiny, Mick, a team of destiny!

And the Gremlins remained undefeated too.

My Tiggers are looking pretty good. I'm pretty sure SportsCenter said that no team has ever come back to win an ALCS after losing the first 2 at home. Maybe they said since it went to a 7-game format, I can't remember.

Tigers are too young for destiny.
What they seem to be is a team that caught a few breaks.

Tonight, the 11-0 Gremlins (Class C) go 100 miles to play 11-0 Marquette (Class A).

That's just not right when HS games are cancelled due to snow, and the WS hasn't even started yet!

The Houghton Gremlins are defending Class C state champions.

Quirky stat for Chuck:

Oakland 2B Mark Kiger entered in the eighth, becoming the first player in modern day major league history to make his big league debut in the playoffs. He touched the ball once, catching an inning-ending force.
