KAT 5 5 3 5
BOW 1 6 4 6
Game 1 was played at BOW with both aces on the mound, Darvish (16-12) for KAT
and Lohse (23-7) for BOW.
BOW fans didn't know what to expect as BOW lost their lead over the last two
weeks against PHI having lost 2 games after having 7 run leads.
The first inning KAT threatened with 2 outs but left 2 men on base.
BOW immediately got their fans excited as Crisp lead off with a Deep Fly Homerun
which made it over by inches. After that the pitchers got down and had control
of the game with the advantage of great defense throwing out a runner trying to
score on a HF and throwing out runners stealing. In the top of 6th inning KAT's
offense came alive with 4 straight hits including a homerun and took a 4-1 lead.
KAT scored another one in the top of the 9th. BOW did load up the bases in the
bottom of the 9th but ARI Hernandez got the final out to earn the save.
Offensive star was LAA Hunter 3 for 5 with 2 doubles and a homerun and TEX
Darvish with 8.1 innings and 1 earned run given up but getting 9 clutch
strikeouts and 1 double play.
Game 2 was played at BOW with both teams starting 14 game winners, Detwiler for
KAT and Vogelsong for BOW.
The first inning started the same as in game 2 with KAT threatening but ATL
Johnson (J in lf) may a great OFR play, otherwise it may have been a big inning
for KAT. BOW tried to take the lead but Bloomquist was thrown out at home. In
the 2nd inning KAT missed a Deep Fly homerun by inches. BOW immediately took
the lead in the bottom of the inning by scratching across a run on an infield
single by Bloomquist but left the bases loaded. In the top of the 4th, BOW's
fans thought it was going to be the same as game 1 when KAT after 1 out got the
bases loaded with two singles and an error. Vogelsong then got a strikeout and
and OFR out to CF. In the top of the 5th KC Escobar hit a homerun tying the
game. BOW came right back scoring 5 runs and taking a 6-1 lead. Again great
throws by BOW helped the pitchers by getting out a runner trying to advance from
1st to 2nd on another DF. KAT scored another run with KC Escobar getting
another clutch hit. KAT Scored another run in the top of the 8th making it 6-3
and the BOW's fans were uneasy and the KAT's relievers hadn't given up a hit.
The top of the 9th BOW brought in their star reliever who was injured most of
the season but was inefficient against PHI when he pitched to one batter and
gave up a DF homerun. Street started nervously giving up an OFR single and then
another single. With runners on 1st and second, Keppinger got the H&R signal
and ripped a line drive to lf scoring one run and moving the runner on 1st to
third but with his excitement he didn't notice the quick throw and was cut in a
rundown and made the first out. The score was now 6-4 with runner on 3rd. KAT
followed up with a Park single making the score 6-5 and having gotten 4 straight
hits. Street calmed down and struck out the next batter and got a routine
grounder to 3rd to end the game. The 4th through 7th batter were a combined 9
for 16 with 4 runs scored and 4 rbis hitting 3 doubles. Vogelsong went 5
innings giving up 1 run. Escobar went 3 for 3.

With the series knotted at a game a piece, BOW sent 11-3 Morales BOS against 9-2 Hudson ATL for KAT to see who would take control of the 5 game series. The Bandits continued their pattern of striking early, pushing across 1 run in each of the first three innings to jump out to an early 3-0 lead with Andrew McCutchen & Reed Johnson leading the way with 2 hits each in their first 2 ABs. Led by Alcides Escobar, KAT fought back, as he hit his 2nd home run of the series and added a run scoring single to even the scoring at 3-3 after 4.
It stayed that way until the 7th when BOW took advantage of an Escobar error and pushed across a run on a 2 out Carlos Ruiz single to take a 4-3 lead. KAT managed to get the tying run to 2nd with one out in the ninth on an Austin Jackson double, but couldn't get him in and the Bandits squeaked out a 4-3 victory to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
BOW's 3-5 hitters finished the game 7-13 for the game leading them to the victory, with KAT being led by Hunter & Escobar who had 3 hits apiece.
The series will be put on hold until next weekend.
