The Rats finally put the Hitmen away yesterday. The two teams battled it out and it was pretty close for a while. Carlos Pena, hitting a homer in all four post-season games, hit a solo dinger in the 2nd to start the scoring. Aubrey Huff countered with one of his own to tie the game up in the 3rd. Pena got things started again in the 4th with a double. Justin Verlander gifted the Rat Pack with a run, by first balking Pena over to third, then scoring him on a wild pitch. In the 8th with the score 3-2 in favor of the Rats, Carlos Pena, once again, hit a double that scored Ichiro. Vlad Guerrero followed up with a 2-run single that broke the game wide open for Vegas. Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th to make the score 6-4. Carlos Marmol retired the Hitmen in order to pick up the save and send the Hitmen to the golf course.
Las Vegas will now take on Vancouver starting Tuesday. Philadelphia and Newark will battle on Monday.
