2023 LCS GAME 3's

FRONTIER LEAGUE

Chicago (Jorge Trujillo 17-6 4.05)
@
West Michigan (John Drake 16-4 2.50)

Hernandez again opened the scoring with a 2nd inning RBI ground out, scoring Counha. Game stayed 1-0 into the 5th when Steve Rush took a John Drake fastball to deep left for a 2 run homer. 2-1 after 5 full.
Trujillo 5-2-1-1-0-3 on 61 pitches
Drake 5-2-2-2-0-1 on 52 pitches, had allowed just 1 hit through 4.
Both guys held the line. West Michigan managed to scrap out a run in the 7th to tie.
And the Iron Pig pen worked out of some huge jams over the next few innings. Gonzalez would manage to get out of a 1 out bases loaded jam in the top of the 10th while Casas would dominate in the bottom half. John Drake would go 9.1-3-2-2-1-1 before being pulled, Trujill went 6-4-2-2-1-4, Perez got a huge out as did Carlson.
Casas would enter the 11th, his 4th inning, and get 2 outs with 1 on, and a meeting ensued, he was at 50 pitches, but was adamant that he was fine, the debate was to go to one of the young righties for the innings final out, but we stayed with Cisco. Bernardo Montoya made us pay, drilling his 1-1 pitch to deep center for a walk off game winning 2 run homer.
Casas ended up going 3.2-2-2-1-6 for the loss.

COASTAL LEAGUE

Philadelphia (Artie McCarthy 12-7 5.02)
@
San Antonio (Angelo Esparza 20-7 2.57)

Another Coastal League LCS thriller. Down 4-2 entering the bottom of 8 Jose Machado took starter Arite McCarthy deep for a game tying 2R HR with 2 outs.
In the bottom of the 9th Alejandro Villanueva took closer Gonzalo Ortiz to dead center on a 2 out 2 strike fastball for the walk off win.
