The greatest words in modern sports: GAME SEVEN.
Pennsylvania has force a winner-take-all game by winning 5-4 over the Nanooks at home on Monday night.
Matt Olson's eighth-inning home run proved the decisive blow. That blast came after Vancouver scored twice in the top of the inning to knot the game at three. It also made a winner of Aroldis Chapman, who had blown the save opportunity on Garret Cooper's longball.
The defending champs made another bid at a comeback in the ninth. Salvador Perez homered -- also off Chapman -- to get the Nanooks back within a single run. A Santiago Espinal single got the tying run aboard with two out. But the Cuban flamethrower fanned Brandon Crawford to end the game.
We will return to the Pacific coast on Wednesday night to crown a champion.
Vancouver will send their ace, Jacob deGrom, to the hill. deGrom was held back for just the occasion. He will be opposed by either Jordan Montgomery (scheduled) or Zack Wheeler for the Marauders.
