Another AL vs. NL day as Pete and Matt took on Kurt and Cubs fan du jour, Jeremy. Once again the AL proved the superior squad, but the road to victory was a path less traveled: the Walk Off.
The visiting NLers built a big lead on Pete's one bad inning on the mound. Six runs were plated on a series of Mosser singles and Long doubles. But other than that top of the third, they could not find another rally all morning.
Still they took a six run lead into the bottom of the sixth (and final) inning, with Jeremy hurling the Long relief. There were some Long at bats, and a lot of them. The ALers (hey, that's kinda like ale-ers) sent 12 batters to the plate. Only two were retired, and three were stranded. Scoring math says seven of them must have scored, and so they did. Matt was cold early but found his stroke late; Pete made not a single out in the dramatic final half inning.
Here is the final score and the feet of the MAN who drove in five of the seven winning runs.
NL: Jeremy, Kurt - 6
AL: Matt, Pete - 7
W: Lindsay
L: Long
HR - none
By the way, it was, and is, the birthday of one Dr. Kurt Mosser. Raise a glass to him today!
