1993 National League Championship Series
Encyclopedia : 1 : 19 : 199 : 1993 National League Championship Series
The 1993 National League Championship Series was played between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves. The Phillies stunned the 104 win Braves and the won the Series 4-2 and advanced to the 1993 World Series, which they lost 4-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays due to Joe Carter's dramatic three-run walk-off home run in Game 6.
Although Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams is most often associated with Joe Carter's home run, he was one the major reasons why the Phillies got to the World Series in the first place. In the 1993 National League Championship Series, Mitch Williams was the winning pitcher in Games 1 and 5. In addition, Williams saved Game 4 and the clincher, Game 6 for the Phillies.
One of the more memorable moments in the 1993 NLCS was Kim Batiste, in his only postseason at-bat ever, hitting the game-winning single in the 10th inning of Game 1 after making a 9th-inning throwing error that led to the tying run.
Although he didn't get any decisions during his two appearances in the six game series, Curt Schilling's 1.69 ERA and 19 strikeouts were still enough to earn him the 1993 NLCS Most Valuable Player Award.
