Boston Dodgers 10, AlThomas Athletics 7
A depleted yet defiant Dodgers team holds off a late push by a streaking Athletics squad to improve to 4-1 in divisional play. Moose Breidenstine pitches into the 6th for his 20th career YBL win. Ryan Decotis comes on in relief to record a HUGE strikeout with the bases loaded in the 6th and the Dodgers up 7-4. In a hairy top of the 7th, JJ Miller finishes up for the save, and the Dodgers escape with an ugly but needed 10-7 win.
Bobby Foote leads the Dodgers going 1-for-3 with 3 runs and 4 RBI, 2 of which on a bomb triple to right center in the 3rd. "OneArm" Cahill goes 2-for-4 with 3 RBI and 2 steals. Jerrad Ryan returns to the lineup pale and sweaty, with a run and some solid D at 2nd.
For the A's, Kevin White knocks in a pair in the 4th to keep the game interesting. Down 10-4 in the 7th, the Athletics display a Zen-like patience and an unbreakable skeletal structure, scoring 3 on 4 walks and 2 HBP. |
