| The Apostles pull off a miracle at Eaton! Ichiro Suzuki and Joe Mauer pulled off the perfect double steal in the top of the 9th to bring the visitors all the way back from 5 down. Eaton lead off the scoring in the fourth, on a Cabrera walk, Tulowitski double, Teahen walk, Payton BP SI and Feliz 1-11 single. That made it 2-0 Easies. It could have been worse, but Teahen was out at home on a close play. In the 5th, Cabrera singled, Tulo smacked his second double of the game, and Teahen belted a 1-14 HR to make it 5 zip Eaton. The Apostles would rally in the sixth with two singles, a walk and a pair of doubles to score 4 times. Both teams would threaten in the 7th. Back-to-back singles by Ichiro and Eckstein put two-on with no out for the Apostles, only to see Eck erased on a Cantu DP. In the bottom, Cabrera and Tulo singled, only to be wiped by a Teahen DP. Payton missed a 1-9 single to end the frame. The wheels were turning in the 9th. Down one, Betemit laced a PH SI to start the inning. Nyjer Morgan pinch ran, but was countered by Matt Capps, who held him at first. Fred Lewis rapped a PH SI to put runners at first and second. Morgan thought about third, but was held up (1-13). That brought the top of the order in Ichiro, who ripped a clean single into left, loading the bases. Eckstein lifted a fly ball and Morgan beat the throw home, knotting the game at 5. Mauer was announced as the PH, and was countered by reverse-righty, David Riske. Riske didn't disappoint, inducing a gbB that nailed Lewis at home, putting runners on the corners with two down. With Thome up, and a little over 30% for him to succeed, we looked at the double steal. Ichiro 1-8. The call was made. Double Steal. Mauer 1-5 at second, go! Laird throws. Ichiro breaks; throw cut back to home. Split card .... 8! 6-5 Apostles! Gregg put the Easies down in order to close out the victory. This ranks up there as one of the awesomest wins I've had. Great start to the series! |

David Eckstein had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at Mi-High Stadium as the Saint
Gabriel Apostles won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the ice-cold
Eaton Easies by the count of 6 to 5.
Saint Gabriel won the game with a rally in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs
utilizing 2 base hits. Wilson Betemit opened up the inning nicely when he
drew a walk. Fred Lewis was next and he laced a single. Ichiro Suzuki then
laced a base-knock to load the bases. Eckstein came up and he hit a deep fly
which plated a run. After another out, Suzuki stepped up to the plate and he
suprised everyone by stealing home scoring the final run of the inning.
Saint Gabriel had 11 hits for the night.
The win was credited to Randy Johnson(2-0) who went 2 innings allowing no
runs. Johnson got help from Kevin Gregg who earned his 11th save. Matt
Capps(1-1) was tagged with the loss in relief.
Fran Telarico was not very talkative after his team's tough loss. 'I'm not in
the mood for questions, but I'm sure Jamie Imhoff will be glad to talk about
the game as long as you have questions to ask.'
