whitecaps 9 racers 7

The Caps management decides to shake the lineup(I actually picked the keyboard up
and shook it :).Finally the Caps showed some life vs the Racers. Justin Verlander
pitched 7 strong innings and the Caps held on for a 9-7 win. Was just wondering if
anybody out there has ever rolled 4 straight 5-9's? Sometimes I wonder about the
guys who program this game.
