Kiev Piles Up Runs Late To Knot Series
Box score
For six innings, the Henry Jones vs. Santiago Vecchio pitching matchup lived up the hype. The best starters in the EPL and the CL had pitched admirably, the game a 2-2 tie. Vecchio, who had thrown 130 pitches his last start, had issued two walks in the 6th before getting out of trouble, but the Rangers decided to pull him.
And then the Kiev Comets feasted. Michaël Thierry hit a go-ahead 2-run homer in the 7th, Gianfranco Cochetti homered in the 8th, and Mel Martin capped it off with a 3-run shot in the 9th to turn the previously tense game into a laugher.
