Francisco Liriano was a bit shaky last night, but the Marietta pen pulled it off and evened their series with Newark. Marietta won for only the second time in the post season at home.
The Mighty Men went up 1-0 in the first on a Matt Diaz RBI-single, but the Sugar Bears crept back and established a 3-1 lead. But in the bottom of the fourth, the wheels came off. The Mighty Men rallied for seven runs on two three-run homers from Ray Durham and Jim Thome, taking an 8-3 lead. Both teams' bullpens held their opposition scoreless throughout the rest of the game. It was the second 8-3 victory for the Mighty Men in the series.
Now the series goes back to Newark for a pivotal game five. The Sugar Bears have to be sweating, thinking of the same hex that plagued the 2002 Falcons and 1997 Iron Fist. To mess with their heads even more, Marietta will have Phil Nevin of the 2002 Falcons and Jay Buhner of the '97 Fist throw out the first pitch in game six. "We're going to psych out those cheating bastards" said owner/GM David Landsman.
