| Zambrano didn't have it. It was going to be THAT kind of game. After two, Quincy led 2-0, but it should have been much worse. Carlos had already allowed 7 baserunners thru 2, and the offense was being shut down by Hudson. In the third, Cabrera singles in a run to make it a one run game. Blake follows in the bottom with a 1-13 HR to make it 4-1 Quincy. The "Willinghammer" came out in force in the 5th and 7th, blasting two solo shots to make the game 6-2. Entering the 9th, the Apostles manager was looking to "save PAs" for his middle infielders. Dogs and cats were living together, pitchers were hitting ... it was madness. The next thing I know is there are two-on, two-out and the Apostles are bringing the tying run to the plate. In strolls Jon Papelbon to shut the door. In a fit of insanity, Joe Mauer was called back from the batters box and Carlos "HR ties it" Lee is called on, the last Apostle bat. The roll ... BP HR 1-19 to tie it ... We roll 20. Game over, have a nice day. What an exciting way to start the three game set. |
