The 78 Yankees sweep out the 86 Red Sox in the much anticipated series. Boston could not get any offense going as they only total 9 hits in the 3 games. The Yankees get good pitching throughout and clutch hitting to move on. The Yankees will face either the 79 Orioles or the 82 Brewers in the Final Four.
