Well, the Mooseheads did it again, scoring 7 runs, all by home run. Sinke hit a 3-run HR off of Paul Lyons. Hall hit a 3-run HR off of Basilio Mangoni. And East hit a solo shot off of Julio Garcia.

East's homer made the score 7-5, and it looked like the Cheyenne bullpen had blown the game again. In the ninth, against the Halifax closer, the Cowboys rallied. Campos singled. Beck flew out. Reed, pinch hitting, doubled. Campos was held up at third. Judson came up, took a pitch for ball one, fouled one off, and hit the next one into the left field seats. Game winner.

The Cowboys have staved off elimination now for two games, barely. The starting pitching has been ok. The defense has been solid. The offense has been good enough. The bullpen, probably the best facet of the ballclub during the regular season, has gone frigidly cold. They just don't seem able to put all parts of their game together, yet they're still alive. Halifax leads the World Series 4 games to 3. There are only 2 games left, one in Cheyenne and one, if needed, in Halifax.

The Cowboys started John O'Flanagan today. He went 1 for 3, walked, scored 2 runs, and stole a base. It was clearly the right move from the Cheyenne braintrust. Their next decision is who to start in Game Eight. John Cummings wasn't sharp in his last start, and even in his first start this series he only went 5 innings. The Cowboys could start Ben Koch or even Jason Bryant. We don't know yet what they'll do. Game Nine, if they get there, belongs to Roy Horton. Here's hoping they get there.
