Back at PNC Field for game 2

Posted on 18 April 2009 by Zod

It is another beautiful, sunny day here in the Electric City and we are ready for baseball. Today, Kei Igawa will try his best to end our winning streak at 9 games, but I am hoping that the hitters stay hot and he is traded before the game. No, I guess not, but we can always enjoy the day. I caught a glimpse of the lineup on the way in, and it looks like I will have to wait another day to see Austin Jackson play. He is nursing an elbow injury. Later…

Our destroyer takes the mound

 Kei overcame a shaky 1st. Hit, 2 walks erased by a popup & a double play.

SWB is on the board

Bottom 1st, Todd Linden drove in Doug Bernier, SWB leads 1-0. We will need many more today!

And the hits just keep on comin’!

Bottom 3rd, Todd Lindin hits a 2 run homer, singles by Shelley & Angel Berroa, & a sac fly by Eric Duncan and SWB now leads 4-0.

Well, he gave one back..

…on a home run to Matt Tolbert, but that was it, 4-1 SWB.

GREAT play!

By 1st baseman Carlos Mendoza, leaning over the railing on the Red Wings dugout, his feet off the ground, to catch a foul ball in the top of the 5th. Still 4-1 SWB.

SHELLEY-BINO!!!!!

Bottom 5th, a 2 run shot over the billboards in left. 6-1 SWB.

Who is this phenom from Japan???

Posted on 18 April 2009 by Zod

Igawa through 7, 1 run on 3 hits. 83 pitches, 56 strikes and a lower ERA than that guy in Boston, Dice-something?

J.B. Cox on in the 8th

Posted on 18 April 2009 by Zod

Single by Brock Peterson, wild pitch, & long single by Drew Butera & the score is 6-2.

Dave Robertson finished the 8th

Posted on 18 April 2009 by Zod

A Justin Leone error with 2 outs ended J.B. Cox day. Robertson got the 3rd out on a strikeout. 6-2 SWB.
