The 'Glou win their wildcard game against the Cape Coral Swamp Rats (86-76, pythag 90-72) by the score of 6-1.

deGrom threw 8 innings of 1-run ball to set up the victory, though Eckersley came on in the top of the 9th with the bases jammed after Carlos Martinez gave up a hit and 2 walks to face Hank Aaron, whose regular season .330 BA was 2nd-best in our conference. Aaron watched a fastball miss low, then struck a fastball in the zone firmly to right. But the line drive carried and Trout, who'd moved to RF in the 7th, glided in to make the catch and end the game.

Now it's on to the division series to face the Saigon Tritons. My goal: not be swept!

EDIT: Goal accomplished! We win the first game on the road 4-3. Fregosi homers for the 2nd straight game, going 3-4 as we put together a 14-hit night.
