Florida Advances to League Championship
The Florida Marlins are off to the League Championship.

By a final score of 7-3 at Joe Robbie Stadium, Florida ended the Division Series and knocked out the Cincinnati Reds by a series score of 4-1.

"Two great teams, only one can go on and we're happy that's us," said Charles Johnson, who was named series MVP. "There's no easy games, no easy series in the Doubleday Baseball League playoffs."

For the series, Johnson hit .200 with a .273 on-base percentage. He had 3 home runs, drove in 7 RBI and scored 3 runs.

The Florida Marlins don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Milwaukee Creams - Kansas City Royals series. Kansas City leads the series 3 games to 2. The League Championship schedule will be announced after the Division Series finishes.
