Attendance: 25,954

Top of the First:
Jose Julio grounds a hit to left. He gets caught stealing... Jack Hinckley strikes out looking... Fernando Martinez strikes out swinging...

Bottom of the First:
Frankie Clontz takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4... I swear that every walk our starting pitchers have allowed has been to lead off the inning. Every one our Bullpen has allowed has been to force in a run with the bases loaded... Clontz heads for 2nd, but gets thrown out by C Jim Shippy! Ernie Brush lines out to 3rd. Steve Rizkallah swings at the first pitch and hits a home run to left... 1 to 0, Bees. Jeff Galka walks on 4 pitches... John Polanski doubles to left... Joe Moyers grounds out to short!

Top of the Second:
Glenn Snowden loops a hit just over the 3rd baseman's glove. Fernando Mexicano grounds one back to the mound, but P Noe Rubio makes a bad throw to 2nd for an error! Shannon Kuchta bounces another one back to the mound and Rubio takes his time this time and makes a good throw to 2nd, but Ernie Brush drops the ball and the bases are loaded with no outs! Jim Shippy pops out to short... I smell no runs... Juan Rojas grounds a hit to right and Snowden scores! Tie game: 1 to 1. P Frank Flores grounds hit to left and 2 more runs are in!! 3 to 1, Beavers! Jose Julio walks to load them back up. Jack Hinckley grounds into a 5-4-3 double play.... I do not care for that young man....

Bottom of the Second:
With 2 outs, P Noe Rubio doubles down the left field line. Frankie Clontz grounds a hit to left and Rubio scores... 3 to 2, Beavers.

Bottom of the Third:
With 1 out, John Polanski hits his second home run of the series... Tie game: 3 to 3. The Bees have scored in every inning so far... It does not look like a third straight complete game is in the cards...

Bottom of the Seventh:
With 2 outs, Frankie Clontz draws a walk. The Bullpen gets up. Ernie Brush gets beaned... Steve Rizkallah lines a hit to left and Clontz scores. 4 to 3, Bees. Call to the Bullpen: Roy Huls (21-R). Jeff Galka takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 to load them up... John Polanski strikes out looking!

Top of the Eighth:
With 2 outs, Glenn Snowden swings at a 3-2 pitch and hits a home run to left!! Tie game: 4 to 4! Fernando Mexicano swings at the first pitch and sends one deep to center, but it is caught on the warning track...

Top of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Mark Spooner (35-R) with a 6.23 ERA and 51 H in 30.1 IP. He has started 5 games, but is now their closer with the regular one on the DL. As a reliever, he has only allowed 5 hits in 5.1 IP, but has walked 7. Shannon Kuchta sends one to the wall in center, but Ed Pogue runs it down... Jim Shippy beats out an infield hit. PH Rick Woodell (31-L) swings at a 3-2 pitch and flies out to left... PH Don Neumann (32-S) swings at another 3-2 pitch and grounds a hit to center and Shippy goes to 3rd. Jose Julio strikes out...

Bottom of the Ninth:
New Pitcher: Garry Ayers (29-R). Dave Risinger (26-R) is in to play short. Frankie Clontz walks on 4 pitches... With 1 out, he steals 2nd and goes to 3rd when C Jim Shippy throws the ball into center... We walk Steve Rizkallah intentionally. He steals 2nd... With the infield in, Jeff Galka grounds one to the hole on the right side and 1B Glenn Snowden makes a lunging stop, checks the runner back to 3rd from his knees and then scrambles to the bag for the out! By a hair! Their manager is out to argue, but I have yet to see the umps overturn their own call yet... Glad we do not do stupid things like use the camera replays to make calls.... We walk John Polanski intentionally so that we can force in a run with the next walk.... Once again, we have the bases loaded with 2 of the runners being put their on purpose... Joe Moyers grounds out to 3rd!

Extras!

Top of the Tenth:
Jack Hinckley grounds a hit to center. Fernando Martinez, who has not done much for us since the trade with Milwaukee, grounds into a force at 2nd, 1-6. He is now batting .222 with a .596 OPS as a Beaver and hit .296 with a .952 OPS for the Brewers before the trade... Glenn Snowden pops out to 2nd... 2 outs.

They walk Shannon Kuchta intentionally. Jim Shippy hits a home run to left center!!!!!!!! 8 to 4, Beavers!!!! The magic is NOT dead! That sends P Mark Spooner packing. New Pitcher: Ken Moller (25-L) with a 5.36 ERA. He pitched 3 shutout inning against us on Thursday. Dave Risinger grounds out to short.

Bottom of the Tenth:
Melvin Rodarte lines a hit to left... Ed Pogue grounds a hit to left... PH Manny Vigil (33-R), batting .292 with 2 HR in 96 AB, grounds out to 3rd and the runners move up. Call to the Bullpen: Chuck Purnell (26-L). Frankie Clontz flies out to left and Rodarte scores without a throw. 8 to 5, Beavers. 2 outs.
