This game just occured in an auto-played game in my White Sox dynasty. For eight innings, Wilbur Wood of my White Sox and Mickey Lolich of the Tigers were locked in a pitching duel.

That's a horrible way to lose a ball game.

That looks like it could be a real game log from this year.

lol that is pretty bad. I just had to take a break for awhile from the game after I lost three games in a row to the division leader. The first game a walk off homerun in the 14th. The second game my relief collapsed. I had a 6-2 lead heading into the seventh and my bullpen gave up eight runs leading to the end of the game, in which i lost 10-6. The last game they hit a walk off two run homerun to win 4-3. Needless to say I went from 30-33, to 30-36....15 games out of first....and still a very bad situation in terms of pitching. ((My pitching was ranked first in every category but one...this season they're bottom third in everything...with the same guys basically!!! ))

Eerily similar to that Dodgers/Padres game last year, with four Dodger homers in a row to tie in the ninth. From mlb.com:

"Trailing by four runs, the Dodgers hit four homers in a row in the ninth on seven pitches, tying a Major League record accomplished now for the fourth time. Two of them came off the first two pitches from Trevor Hoffman. After the Padres took a one-run lead again in the top of the 10th, Nomar Garciaparra roped the two-run winner to end it."
