A little history: two years ago (August 19, 2007) the O's and Rangers locked horns in one of the longest games in MABL history. Former Oriole Bryan Healey threw a complete game, lasting all 13 innings, while Rangers hurler Shane Steffens matched him through the first 12. This one wasn't much shorter. In a highly dramatic, back-and-forth game, the O's pulled it out in 11 innings, overcoming three late-game deficits. In the final inning, Eric Fudeman had the GW-RBI with a single up the middle to score Jose De Los Santos with the winning run. More details to come tomorrow.

Eric Fudeman drives in Jose De Los Santos with the winning run. Bobby Shady throws the final two frames and picks up the W.
