Reds Cruise to World Series with Sweep
Bernie Williams said he expected the League Championship to be "a battle from start to finish."

In the end, it was nothing more than a minor skirmish, as the Cincinnati Reds encountered little resistance in sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals, to advance to the World Series.

"It may have been a sweep, but it still was a tough series," said Williams.

Cincinnati won the final game by a 4-2 count and were led in the series by Williams, who was named MVP. On the series, he hit .533 with 0 home runs. He also drove in 4 RBI and scored 2 runs.

The Cincinnati Reds will play against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the next round. Arizona won their series against the Washington Senators 4 games to 0. The World Series schedule will be announced after the League Championship finishes.
