LF MIGUEL BARRERA, MIA. Round of Applause!

 

Thirty seven year old Miguel Barrera has a wealth of experience behind him but the last time he was on an intense postseason was in 2003 when he was facing Miami with Philly. This time around Barrera was integral in helping Miami complete the sweep of El Paso. Barrera was extremely quiet in the first 3 games of the series and Miami didn't much need him for that matter. Miami jumped all over El Paso and stormed to a 3-0 series lead. El Paso was not going to go down without a fight and Game 4 in Miami was just that. El Paso carried a 3-2 going into the bottom of the 9th with Bill Briggs in the game. Ward Anderson led off with a groundout bringing Barrera up to bat. Barrera calmly knocked the first pitch out of the park to tie the game. Miami and El Paso would go to extra innings to settle it. In the bottom of the 11th with 2 outs Ward Anderson hit a double to bring Barrera to the plate. Barrera nailed a single of Bill Samuels to drive in the winning run. So to complete the sweep Barrera hit the game tying HR and the game winning single. Drink yourself a cold Stroh's Miguel!
