John Danks once again stymied the Iron Fist, this time blanking the 2008 champs on 3 hits in 8 innings. Ben Sheets did better his second time around, pitching 6.1 innings and yielding only 2 runs on 4 hits, but it was enough to finish off Vancouver and send the Mighty Men to round two. All the scoring in the game came in the 7th inning. Jason Bay started things off with a single after the first batter was out. Kurt Suzuki singled next chasing Sheets in favor of reliever Russ Springer. Springer got Nick Punto to ground out, catching Bay trying to score, but Orlando Hudson came through with a 2-run double that cleared the bases. And that was it. Marietta managed only 6 hits but that was double what Vancouver could gather.
Tonight, Hillsborough hosts Las Vegas in their decisive game 5 matchup, pitting Dan Haren against Tim Lincecum. The winner will face the Newark Sugar Bears on Thursday.
