2022 WORLD SERIES GAME 1
Boston Bombers (Pat Kelley 17-8 3.80)
@
Chicago Iron Pigs (Stan Hall 16-5 3.62)
Teams trade triples through 3. Travis Goulds 2 out triple in the 2nd drives in Troy Becker and Dennis Ash drives in Andre Blakeway with an RBI ground out in the 3rd, after Blakeway's leadoff 3B. 1-1 through 3 full. Kelly at 43 pitches, Hall 46.
Stan Hall works out of runner on 3rd less than 2 out jams in both the 5th and 6th innings, getting huge K's both times. He's gone 6-6-1-1-0-8 on 85 pitches so far.
Kelley keeps the Iron Pig offense quiet until Martinez drills a 1 out solo shot in the bottom of the 6th to make it 2-1 Chicago at the end of 6.
The wheels come off for Hall in the 7th after a Becker 2B to lead it off, a walk and 2 hits and the pens inability to escape the jam leave us down 5-2 into the bottom of the 7th.
Kelley would go 8, on 107 pitches, and yield just the 2 runs as Jake Ellison would get the final 3 outs for a game 1 win.
