| In a battle of young starting pitchers, a young catcher stole the show! Brian McCann homered twice and knocked in three as the Dog Catchers outlasted the Apostles, 7-6 in 11 innings. A BP HR by Cabrera in the third gave the Saint Gabriel club an early 3-0 lead. CDC answered in the bottom with a Young bases-loaded SACFLY and a Chipper 1-8 SI, making it 3-2 ILL. Pujols missed a BP HR that might have put it out of reach early. After a Ross BP HR (ILL) and a straight HR by Vladdy (CDC) made it 4-3, Kershaw got into a bases loaded jam in the 4th. Kershaw was gassed and ILL brought in lefty specialist Reyes to face McCann. McCann slapped a solid single, plating two Dog Catchers, giving CDC their first lead, 5-4. However, ILL answered in the sixth with a Kouz BP HR, then CF Dukes couldn't handle a Ross flyball to give the lead back to the Apostles, 6-5. This was McCann's night, though. He tied the score in the bottom of the eighth with a 1-12 HR of his own. It stayed that way until the 11th, when Chipper doubled in Dukes to win it for the home team. |
