SCORES SCS 4 3 3 2 WCW 7 10 4 4 Quite the opening ballgame in the NC SCS vs. WCW DCS. Despite some opening inning fireworks with Sparkle City's starting 2b Freddy Sanchez getting tossed on a blown call, nothing really happened until Curtis Granderson's 2-run homer in the fifth staked WCW a lead. Tim Lincecum cruised through the first six innings giving up nothing but a single walk. In the top of the seventh, however, everything fell apart for the Warpath's ace. Lance Berkman tied the game with a 2-run homer of his own, followed by a single, a Parra triple, and successful squeeze to give SCS a two run lead. Trailing 4-2 into the bottom of the 7th, Washtenaw County fought back with runs in the bottom of the 7th and 8th to tie the game. The 9th and top of the 10th were scoreless, with WCW's bullpen ace Neftali Feliz striking out five in two innings. In the bottom of the 10th, Jeter lead off with a single, Henry Blanco was hit by a pitch on a H&R attempt, and Adam LaRoche ended it with a 3-run bomb. WCW leads the series 1-0, with the next game scheduled for sometime after this weekend.

SCS 4 WCW 7 Recaps: With WCW up 1-0 in the series, game two started out with a lot of fireworks. A Trop turf triple lead to two runs for SCS in the top of the first, but WCW responded with six in the bottom of the frame, including a grand slam by part-time player Nolan Reimold. After giving up those runs in the bottom of the first while recording only a single out, SCS starter Josh Beckett (who had pitched a no-hitter against Washtenaw earlier in the season) remained in the game, but was immediately found to have pine tar on his glove and was ejected. Beckett's five game suspension keeps him out of the rest of the series. The rest of the contest was rather uneventful, as WCW starter Brian Duensing cruised through the rest of his five innings, with WCW tacking on some insurance runs via solo homers and SCS scoring a meaningless run during Neftali Feliz's third inning of work. Final score, 10-3 WCW, and we're headed to Sparkle City. Game three was a much more exciting contest. SCS ace Chris Carpenter and WCW ace Felix Hernandez dueled through six innings, with the only damage a top of the 5th RBI triple by Curtis Granderson plating Jim Thome. Carpenter responded to the potential rally by getting three straight batters and stranding Granderson on third. One ugly note -- WCW designated hitter Matt Diaz took a foul ball off the noggin while in the on deck circle early in the game and will miss the rest of the series (and game one of the NC CS if WCW makes it; injury was for 8 days). Washtenaw manufactured another run in the top of the 7th and manager Todd Morgan gave King Felix the quick hook in favor of Neftali Feliz in the bottom of the frame. The rookie, however, wasn't up to the task, surrendering three runs in the bottom of the 7th on a double by Ryan Zimmerman, a single by Marlon Byrd, a triple by Freddy Sanchez, and a single by Gerardo Parra. Carpenter protected the 3-2 for the Sluggers into the top of the 9th, but Warpath cleanup hitter Jayson Werth tied the game with a clutch solo homer with one out in the final frame. Lots of pitching changes and scoreless half-innings followed until Sam Fuld's RBI single plated Jeff Baker in the top of the 12th. Jeremy Affeldt came on for WCW in the bottom of the inning to save the win. Final score, 4-3 WCW in 12. Washtenaw now leads the NC DCS three games to none, with game four scheduled for next Monday, 12/13, at 8pm eastern on IRC. Scheduled game four starters are Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay, both pitching on short rest. With both teams missing their best reliever as well, it should be interesting.

WCW wins game four 4-2 behind a shakey Tim Lincecum and a strong three innings from a Feliz-less bullpen. Roy Halladay took the hard luck loss, pitching far better than Lincecum but giving up almost all his hits allowed in a single inning (and quite a few of them were off his own card).
