Florida Joins Atlanta in World Series


Miami (AP) - The Florida Marlins eliminated the Los Angeles Dodgers 4 games to 3 in their semi-final series. Both AJ Burnett (game #6 starter) and Jake Peavy (game #7 starter) turned in clutch performances as the Marlins beat the Dodgers by scores of 5-1 and 5-0 respectively in the final two games. Florida now meets Atlanta for the 2007 Millennium League Championship.


Atlanta, the #1 seed with 107 wins in the regular season, has made one World Series appearance - losing to the St. Louis Cardinals 4 games to 1 in 2004.


Florida, the #2 seed with 105 wins in the regular season, has also made one World Series appearance - losing to the Kansas City Royals 4 games to 3 in 2005.




Should be an exciting series!
