Pittsburgh @
Southbend
-
Southbend continues to pay well at home taking the series 4-2 over
Pittsburgh. Some highlights: Game 72: Southbend losing 4-2 in the bottom of the 8th strike for 6 runs by stringing together some singles, aided by some Pittsburgh errors, and capped by a Lowrie 2-run HR. SBL 8, PIT 4. Game 73: All Pitt's E. Santana as he gives up only 1 run in 8 innings. Tabata has big hit, a 3-run HR in the 4th. PIT 4, SBL 1. Game 74: SBL Holland is tough through 6 giving up on 1 run. SBL offense gives him more than enough runs with a 4 run 6th. Morse hits his 16th HR, Altuve his 1st. SBL 8, PIT 2. Game 75: Final score is deceptive as SB had the game in control all the way. SBL got out to a 7-2 lead after 5 innings. Morse has 2 run-HR in the 1st, Wood hits his 1st HR in the 2nd, Huff 2-run HR in the 5th account for most of the scoring. The game gets somewhat close before Motte saves it for SBL. SBL 8, PIT 5. Game 76: This was the J.McDonald show as he gives up only 1 hit and no runs through 8 innings. PIT gets him a run in each of the first 3 innings for a 3-0 early lead. Alvarez, Kemp, and M.Izturis hit homeruns for PIT. SBL get their token runs on a 2-run HR by Morse in the 9th. PIT 5, SBL 2. Game 77: SBL gets the first run in the 1st on a Wigginton sac fly. Collmenter(PIT) and Harrison(SBL) trade scoreless innings through the 6th. In the SB 7th Morse 1bs and Wigginton hits a 2-run HR for a 3-0 SBL lead. It would prove to be key as Ethier hits a 2-run HR in the PIT 8th. But SBL Putz and Motte close out the game for the win and a 4-2 series win. SBL 3, PIT 2. SBL M.Morse has a big series: 7-24, 5 runs, 7 rbi, 1-2b, 3-HR. |
