[IBL] Congrats to ODM on winning the NC West title

[Matt Sivertson]

In a grueling game that saw yet another collapse from SEA's almighty
bullpen, ODM wins g163 on a warm September night to win the NC West title
and advance to the playoffs.

The matchup was Sonny Gray vs Lance Lynn, and ODM wasted no time getting to
Gray. Eaton led off the game with a single which Crawford followed with a
triple and Moreau another single to score Crawford.  3 batters in and
things were looking bleak but Gray settled down and returned the Donaldson
on a soft grounder and induced a 4-6-3 double play from Brandon Phillips.

SEA chipped back in b2 without ever hitting the ball out of the infield as
an infield single by Derek Norris, a bb by Headley, another infield single
by Stubbs, and then a plunking of Hanley got SEA on the board. They added
another bases loaded run in b3 but unfortunately it was with a Derek Norris
DP, but the game was tied up at 2 until the bottom of the 6th when Dozier
took Freeman deep to take the lead.

Heading into the 7th inning SEA wasted no time giving the game away by
bringing in Joaquin Benoit, who succeeded in logging his 9th loss by
combining with Aroldis Chapman to give up 5 runs over the next 2 innings
and seal the loss.

SEA managed to scrape one back in the 8th but it was to no avail.

Congrats to Alex on a great season!
