In the 33rd and final game of the season the Astros sent Joey "Eyeball" Ortiz to the mound for his first start of the season. Ortiz responded with a complete game victory, scattering 5 hits and giving up 4 runs, only 2 earned and striking out 6. Offensively Brad "The Beard" Presler and Rommel Peguero had 2 doubles each, and Eddy Morrobel Castillo and Presler had 3 RBI each. Coach Carl Rodriguez scored the game winning run after taking one off the back of the head and stealing second base, which is about as rare as Big Papi swiping a bag! The Astros finish up the season with a 13-19-1 record. Certainly not the end result we were hoping for, but this team has increased its win total for the 3rd consecutive season, and beat some great teams along the way! The future looks bright....until next year.........
