Easies 7, Apostles 5 (10)

Another wild one at Eaton! This time the Easies pulled out the victory. It was a back-n-forth tussle all game. Saint Gabriel plated two runs in the top of the first on a single, single, BP single, walk and FC. Eaton responded with back-to-back-to-back doubles to tie it up. In the third, Lee singled home Thome (who doubled) to make it 3-2 Apostles only to see back-to-back doubles by Tulo and Glaus make it 4-3 Easies. In the 6th, Quentin singled and Ichiro slashed a 1-8 triple to tie it up once again. An Eckstein SACF made it 5-4 Saint Gabriel. But in the bottom of the 7th, Tulo singled in Lopez to knot it at 5. It looked like Eaton would break it open after a SSX single by Glaus, but Ankiel missed a 1-9 SI to keep the inning going. Both teams threatened in the 8th. With two down, Buchholz hit Eckstein and Cantu. Capps was called from the pen to face Thome, who missed a BP HR to end the top of the frame. In the bottom, Wily Mo lead off with a single, but was stranded as the next three Easies went down in order. Excitement rose for the visitors as Nyjer Morgan lead off the inning with a triple! After some maneuvering left the Apostle bench depleted, CJ Wilson slammed the door with no damage done. In the bottom of the 9th, Nyjer kept the one-man highlight show going by robbing Cabrera of a GW BP HR! However, the Apostle pen was running on fumes and Pedro Feliz crushed a hanger from Gregg in the 10th to win it, 7-5.

Third baseman Troy Glaus had 4 hits and 3 RBI at Mi-High Stadium where the
Eaton Easies beat the Saint Gabriel Apostles in 10 innings 7 to 5.
 
The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings.  Eaton won it in the 10th
inning.  After an out was recorded, Wily Mo Pena started the rally when he
laced a one-base hit.  After another out, Pedro Feliz stepped up to the plate
and he cracked a two-run shot (his 8th of the season) giving Eaton the win
and sending the home town fans into a frenzy.  This was the kind of game that
many fans love as the lead changed hands 5 times.  
 
The win went to C.J. Wilson(5-4) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Kevin
Gregg(4-7) absorbed the loss in relief.  When questioned, Fran Telarico
remarked, 'It's been a while since a win felt this good - heck, it's been a
while since we had a win period!'
