NyM vs. Cincinatti (Playoff series 1)

[scrambledeggs728]

Played dirtyswingin' ace; I had seed as division winner so hosted the first game.

Started with vicious stand off, broken by a HR in about the 4th inning by my slugger Michael Bay; I get an RBI later and then after the sixth inning close itup. Dirty was playing very smart and demanding strikes by holding off on all junkballs, but Lee was up to it.

Box Score


Second game (upload didn't work) was brutal. First at bat, I got a HR with my leadoff hitter; then got another later to go up 2-0. Into the sixth, I figure just cruise; with 2 outs, nobody on, Dirty gets to HR's in a row, breaking 15 innings of shutout.

Box Score


The defensive battle continues, we are both on our last pitcher, getting tired, in the 13th inning, I finally get my fifth batter, Smith, who waits patiently for two balls, and then POW it goes WAY out of the park. Bottom of the 13th, I get his pitcher out first (crucially), then two more outs. Very close game, one pitch differenly might have been the difference. Dirty played great but had bad luck against Lee in the first game with a shutout, and I got the HR's at the right time.

Final score: 3-2 (13in).

Series score 2-0 for Cin.
