Marietta and Carolina battled to a 1-0 final in extra innings yesterday. Ervin Santana and Roy Halladay started for their respective teams. Santana, however, left in the 5th inning with an undisclosed injury. Mike Adams picked up the slack for Marietta, pitching 4.1 innings in relief and giving up only 1 hit. Halladay however, lasted 9 innings before the Cats called to their bullpen. Halladay only surrendered 4 hits and struck out 9. So at the end of the 9th inning, neither team scored and both teams had 4 hits each to show for it. Mariano Rivera and Edwar Ramirez both continued the shutout for the next two innings. In the 12th, Marietta replaced Rivera with Hong Chi-Kuo who gave up a leadoff hit to Vernon Wells. After striking out the next two batters, Kuo gave up a game winning double to pinch hitter Cody Ross. In total, the two teams combined for 13 hits and 26 strikeouts...oh yeah and 1 walk.
The Ant Slayers were clinging to a shaky 2-0 lead over Arkansas yesterday. Dallas Braden had held the Falcons scoreless over 6.2 innings, but things went south in the 9th. With Arthur Rhodes pitching, the Falcons started the inning with two hits. Rhodes was replaced after the next batter by Octavio Dotel. Dotel gave up a sac fly then served up a 2-run, game winning homer to Jody Gerut.
The final game of the evening was Las Vegas' 13-2 trashing of the O-Bombers. The Rats collected 20 hits, spoiling the D.C. debut of David Bush. Alex Gordon was 3-5 with a homer and 3 RBIs, as every Rat Pack starter had at least one hit in the game.
