Game Start: 7:05 PM
Weather: 53 deg. Cloudy with a 9 MPH wind blowing right to left.
Attendance: 18,116

Jesus Lopez fouls out to 1st. Melvin Mendoza walks on 4 pitches. Bobby Manzano grounds out to 2nd and Mendoza moves up a base. That puts a runner in scoring position with 2 outs and we all know what will happen next.... Willie Solano lines a hit up the middle and Mendoza scores. 1 to 0, Rockies. Buddy Hartman grounds out to short.

Bottom of the 1st: Frank Wiginton grounds out to 1st, unassisted. Javy Fernandez grounds out to short. Lebron Williams lines out to center.

Bottom of the 3rd: Stu Redman and Enrique Hernandez lead off with back-to-back walks. P Terry Cole bunts them up to 2nd and 3rd. Frank Wiginton lines a hit to left and Redman scores to tie the game at 1 all! Javy Fernandez line a hit to right and Hernandez scores and Wiginton takes 3rd! 2 to 1, Beavers! Lebron Williams grounds into a 4-6-3 double play to end the inning.

Bottom of the 4th: Mark Parker and Danny Hernandez both strike out on 3 pitches, Parker swinging and Hernandez looking. With 2 strikes on him, Ron Stephens lines a hit up the middle. Stu Redman lines a double down the right field line and Stephens scores without a throw! 3 to 1, Beavers! They walk Enrique Hernandez intentionally to get to P Terry Cole, but he thwarts their plans with a base hit to right and Redman scores! 4 to 1, Beavers! Frank Wiginton lines a hit up the middle and the intentional walk scores and P Cole goes to 3rd! 5 to 1, Beavers! Javy Fernandez strikes out to end the inning and give P Abel Arrais 3 K's in the frame, but I am sure that is no consolation.

Top of the 5th: Jesus Lopez leads off with a hit and Willie Solano draws a 2-out walk. Buddy Hartman hits a 3-run home run to left. 5 to 4, Beavers.

Bottom of the 6th: New pitcher: RHP Andrew Sutherland. With 1 out, Enrique Hernandez singles to right and goes to 2nd when Buddy Hartman overruns the ball. 1B+E9. Pinch-Hitter: Gabe Regalado. A Wild Pitch sends Hernandez to 3rd. Regalado walks on 4 pitches. Frank Wiginton flies out to center and Hernandez scores. 6 to 4, Beavers. A balk sends Regalado to 2nd and another Wild Pitch puts him on 3rd, from where he scores on an infield hit by Javy Fernandez! 7 to 4, Beavers!

Top of the 7th: New Pitcher: RHP Larry Castillo. With 1 out, Bobby Manzano singles and then Willie Solano bounces one into the stands in right center for a ground rule double. Get the Bullpen up again! But Castillo wiggles out of the jam with a strikeout and a grounder to short!

Won - 7 to 4

We had 9 hits and made 1 error.
The Rockies had 8 hits and made 1 error.
