There will be a game 7!

For only the 6th time in DMBL history a World Series will go the full 7 games. The last time was 2004 when Newark began their 4-year streak by defeating Arkansas.

Vancouver took an early lead in game 6 when David Ortiz doubled in Curtis Granderson to give the Fist a 1-0 lead. But both pitchers were solid and did not give up any runs through the next 4 innings. That is until the bottom of the 5th when the bottom fell out for Javy Vazquez. Andre Ethier began the inning with a double down the line, then Michael Young and Granderson got back-to-back hits to make the score 2-0 Vancouver. Todd Helton smashed a base hit scoring two more runs, chasing Vazquez out of the game. Ortiz came through again and extended the lead to 5-0 with an RBI-single. A Carlos Guillen error led to another run, while another scored on a fielder's choice, making it 7-0 when the inning was over and done with. In the inning, the Sugar Bears surrendered 6 runs on 5 hits, 2 errors and a wild pitch.

But Vancouver was soon to face their own problems. Chipper Jones lined a double with one out the next inning, then scored when Matt Stairs followed it up with another double. Manny Ramirez then hit a 2-run homer to make it 7-3. Later in the inning, Nick Swisher hit another 2-run homer to bring the Sugar Bears to within 2 runs. The Fist dugout was sweating...

Troy Glaus hit a solo home run in the 7th to make the score 7-6, but that's as close as the Sugar Bears would get. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia made a costly error that led to an insurance run for Vancouver in the 8th. The two-headed closing monster of Vancouver - Manny Corpas and Billy Wagner - retired the side in the 9th to close out the win and force game 7.
