2030 Beer League Playoffs: Mashing Series - Game 2
#2 WC Tree House Tornado (88-74; 9th post season) vs #3 WC Scorched Earth Giant Killer (88-74; 7th post season)
The home crowd was seated and silent as Scorched Earth pushed across another run in the top of the 6th to extend their lead to 6-1. While they knew it was a best of 7 series, it would be a difficult task to dig out from an 0-2 hole after two home games.
Then the bottom of the sixth began...
The Giant Killer manager pulled his starter, Marco Figueroa, and sent in reliever Kyle Parks. Tree House batters:
-Chris Becher worked the count full before earning a free pass
-Mike Park worked the count full and also earned a free pass, Becher to second
-Lorenzo Martinez worked a 3-1 count and was walked, Becher to third, Park to second
-Danny Sanchez singled up the middle, Becher scored, Park to third, Martinez to second (6-2)
-Jeremy Racine singled to right advanced to second on throw home, Park scored, Martinez scored, Sanchez to third. (6-4)
(Scorched Earth sends in Jerry de la Rosa to pitch)
-Tony Perez grounded out to short. Sanchez scored (6-5)
-John Riola walked on four straight pitches.
-Andy Jenkins singles to right. Racine scores from second. Riola to second (6-6)
-Jason Cooper hit a 3 run home run (9-6)
(Scorched Earth sends in Justin Sheridan to pitch)
-Chris Becher comes to bat for the second time in the inning and strikes out
-Mike Park singles up the middle
-Lorenzo Martinez grounds into a fielders choice. 8 runs on 5 hits for the Tornado
The Tree House bullpen would hold the line from there as they secured the 9-6 win to even the series 1-1
