fuck yes!
THAT'S WHAT SPEED DO!
We were down 0-3 early in the game and just couldn't bring anyone in. We got baserunners and then would hit into a double play inning after inning.
And then, finally, we scored one in the 7th and one in the 8th. Chicago kept throwing wild pitches/passed balls which helped move our runners into scoring position. And the 9th they did the same thing. With two outs, Moose hit a double. Dyson came into pitch run. He scored on a wild pitch, tying the game. Nori hit a double (his fourth hit of the game) and they brought in the new fast kid, Gore, and Cain, with two outs, hit a chop knock to second but Gore was long gone and they couldn't get Cain out at first because he's fucking fast, too, and Gore sped across the plate to win the game.
Yay!
That's the kind of game we needed. We can get ahead early and win big but we haven't been able to come from behind in weeks, and to do it in the 9th is just perfect. :)
Of course, because Detroit keeps winning, we're still 1 1/2 games back, but it could have been 2 1/2.
Oh, and I'm staying home in the morning--boss texted me a couple times and his son will go in for me in case I have a bad night again. If I'm well, I can get my grocery shopping done because all I have to eat is spicy or dairy laden food. For dinner I had about half a bowl of gross milkless cream of wheat (even Raine turned her nose up at it) and two packages of cheese and crackers. I need more food.
Walk off infield hit. Has to be a rarity!
Huh, and in 100 plus years of baseball we're only the third team to ever come back from two seven game deficits in the division to lead. Interesting stat.
