Marietta topped Las Vegas 3-2 in a 12-inning marathon yesterday. Josh Beckett had pitched the Rat Pack to a 3-1 lead after 8 innings, but the Mighty Men came back. With 2 outs in the 9th, Kevin Youkilis reached base when Alex Gordon tripped over his untied shoelaces. This opened up the floodgates as the Mighty Men rallied to tie the score and head into overtime. The Rats got in trouble again when Gordon committed another error in the 12th. While fielding a grounder from Derek Jeter, Gordon's hat fell off his head, leaving the third baseman, temporarily blinded. Gordon threw the ball at the pitcher, who swatted it away into left field. Jeter advanced to second on the miscue. Milton Bradley came through with an RBI single after Jeter was sacrificed over to third. After the game, Alex Gordon, sporting a Bobby Valentine disguise, tried to sneak out of the complex, but several fans were waiting for him. Gordon narrowly escaped the melee when he tricked the crowd by pointing behind them and yelling "Godzilla!"
Nate McLouth was 5-5 with 2 RBIs in Blue Ridge's 9-4 defeat of the first-place Mudcats. McLouth had a double and a home run in the game.
Vancouver broke their 5 game losing streak yesterday with a 3-2 victory over the Hired Hitmen. Greg Maddux pitched 8 solid innings to improve to 2-1 on the season and Billy Wagner picked up his 13th save.
