When the odds are stacked against you, you have to dig deep to achieve success! This little multi-cache is a testament to some of the greatest upsets in sports. Find the answer to the questions and take those numbers to the first stage where there are instructions on how to use those numbers to find the final. The first stage is a medium camouflage lock n’ lock. The final is a small camouflage lock n’ lock. Take the paved path on the other side of the fence for ease of travel to the final.
1.) In 1990, the Oakland A’s entered the World Series looking for back-to-back titles and were the favorites to do just that. However, the Cincinnati Reds would have something to say about that, sweeping the Oakland A’s in four straight games.
How many runs did the Oakland A’s score in this series? (total runs all 4 games)
2.) Known as the “Miracle on Ice” the 1980 Winter Olympic hockey game featured the US vs. Russia in a Cold War battle on the ice. Russia had won 4 straight Olympic gold medals and were stacked with talent while the US team was made up of amateurs and college players. The US won the game and would go on to defeat Finland for the gold medal.
What was the total number of goals scored in the US vs. Russia game?
3.) Matt Serra was the winner of The Ultimate Fighter 4 and so he was given the automatic chance to take on the current welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. GSP was a 10-1 favorite, but he was defeated by TKO in what is perhaps the biggest upset in UFC history.
What round did Matt Serra defeat GSP in?
4.) In Super Bowl XXXII, the defending champion Green Bay Packers were taking on the Denver Broncos. Green Bay was favored by 11.5 points but Denver would prevail and defeat the Packers 31-24. It was only the second time a wild card team had won the Super Bowl.
How many points did Denver score in the 4th quarter in this Super Bowl game?
5.) In the 1991 PGA Championship, John Daly won his first major championship and is probably regarded as the most unlikely champion to win the event. Daly was the 9th alternate and only qualified after several others pulled out of the tournament. He made the best of this opportunity and won the tournament by 3 strokes.
How many other former PGA champions (players that had won that tournament) also made the cut that year?
