Game Start: 2:30 PM
Weather: 72 deg. Clear skies with an 8 MPH wind blowing in from left.

Tony Kraft grounds a hit into left. He tries to steal and we have a pitch-out called, but he is safe anyway. Mike Campbell grounds out to short and Kraft somehow makes it to 3rd. Did not Rick Ferrell see him? Bobby Manzano strikes out! 2 down. Julio Chapa strikes out on 3 pitches!

Bottom of the 1st: Frank Wiginton nubs one in front of the plate and gets thrown out by the catcher. Full count to Jerry Alston and he grounds one to the left side that looks like it would get through, but SS Tony Kraft reaches it and throws him out at 1st. Rich Babbin strikes out.

Top of the 2nd: Jeff Johnson, who leads the league in runs scored with 97, hits a fly ball to center, but Rich Babbin drops it and Johnson is on at 2nd. E-8. With 2 outs and Johnson at 3rd, Russ Barnes grounds a hit up the middle. 1 to 0, Rockies.

Bottom of the 5th: Rick Ferrell leads off with a hit, gets bunted over to 2nd, steals 3rd and scores on a fly ball by Frank Wiginton to tie the game at 1!

Bottom of the 6th: Back-to-back hits to start the inning by Ernesto Gonzelez and Joe Hartin makes the Rockies dip into their bullpen: RHP Tom Bergman. Ron Charles grounds a hit up the middle and Gonzelez scores from 2nd without a throw! 2 to 1, Beavers!

Top of the 9th: Still 2 to 1, Beavers and P Tony Ricketts still on the hill. 98 pitches thrown The Bullpen is already warmed up. Mike Campbell pops out to 2nd. Bobby Manzano strikes out! Julio Chapa swings at a 1-2 pitch and dumps a hit to right. Call to the Bullpen: LHP Jim Ackley. Rockies manager John Potter pulls down Jeff Johnson and sends up a pinch-hitter: RHB Jesus Lopez.Johnson is a lefty, but he is hitting over .300 against lefties. He had 3 hits yesterday against our lefty, Alan Gross. Lopez is hitting .277 against lefties with no home runs, but does take a LOT of walks. 2-2 pitch and he lofts an easy fly ball to right in foul ground, but Jerry Alston drops it.... That was the 2nd 2-2 pitch. The 3rd 2-2 pitch is taken for a ball Full count. The full count pitch is taken for ball four. Call to the Bullpen: RHP Ron Beckman. Melvin Mendoza hits one to shallow center and CF Vicente Saavedra races in and snags it and does a somersault, but holds on for the 3rd out! And THIS Ballgame Belongs to the Beavers!
