The Kids Are Alright

[Edgy MD]

Austin beats out an infield single to Muno. Tying run in scoring position with some hotshot pinch runner representing! This is bad!

[Edgy MD]

Baxter strands two with two outs for Vegas, but my heart's in Trenton right now.

[Edgy MD]

Casey Stevenson --- came on as a pinch-runner, now playing first.

One-one pitch and... he singles home Arcia!

Tie game! Following this shit live was the worst idea ever!!

[Edgy MD]

And Ben Gamel singles! Trenton wins!! Future Yankees all jubilant and shit!

[Edgy MD]

Greg Burke on to throw the bottom of the seventh for the 51s. Hang in there, Vegas. Can't take more heartbreak tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Burke closes the inning without event as your correspondent takes a nature break. Eric Campbell leads off the eighth.

[Edgy MD]

Campbell pops out and Ryan Sandoval to the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Sandoval walks and Florida State League Superstar Dustin Lawley takes a piece of lumber to the plate for Las Vegas.

[Edgy MD]

Lawley falls on three pitches. Two out and Jamie Hoffman at the plate.

Hoffman hit .277 with nine homers during the regular season for the 51s.

[Edgy MD]

Hoffman grounds out. And we go to the bottom of the eighth.

[Edgy MD]

Burke stays on for the eighth and gets his first hitter Andy Marte on a pop to short.

[Edgy MD]

Sean "Mother" Henn comes on for Las Vegas, facing firstbaseman Efren Navarro, lefty v. lefty.

[Edgy MD]

Navarro reaches on a walk. Now pinch-hitter Rusty Ryal at the plate.

Don't trust pinch-hitters named Rusty.

[Edgy MD]

Infield hit for Ryal. That's how the misery started for Bingo.

[Edgy MD]

Salt Lake ties it in the eighth. Rob Carson on the hill.

[Edgy MD]

Gets the last out on a grounder with the tying run on third. NO MORE INFIELD HITS!

We go to the ninth. Catcher and eight-place hitter Juan Centeno to lead it off.

[Edgy MD]

Flies to left. Daniel Strange on for Salt Lake as Brandon Hicks approaches the plate. Hicks 1-2 with a walk, double, and strikeout.

[Edgy MD]

Hicks also flies to left.

Nieuwie up.

[Edgy MD]

Out. Go to the bottom of the inning, hoping for extras.

That didn't work out so well for Bingo.

Bo still trying to sell me energy, like this is Mad Max or something.

[Edgy MD]

Carson gets the first two.

[Edgy MD]

And Matt Long homers to win it for Salt Lake.

What could have been a sweet night comes up short as the organization, poised to take three playoff games in one night, instead wins just one.

What's tomorrow for, however, if not to serve as the garden in which to plant our fondest dreams? We'll get them tomorrow, sure as the sun will rise.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Am shocked ... SHOCKED ... to see Robert Carson surrender a longball. Shocked, I tell you.

[Edgy MD]

Bingo locked into a 1-1 tie in Trenton in the bottom of the seventh. Darin Gorski has gone the distance for the B-Mets. DiamondFairies in attendance

I can't stand doing this alone again.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

am going out running, can't help.

[Edgy MD]

Your outclassing of me is distressing.

We go to the eighth.

[Edgy MD]

Trenton up 2-1.

[Edgy MD]

Mets down to the their last out, Forsythe up with a 3-0 count.

[Edgy MD]

Forcepts walks. Alonzo Harris comes out to pinch run. Wilfredo Tovar at the paltevar.

[Edgy MD]

Tovar ends the game. B-Mets down 2 games to zero.

Lousy two hits for them all game.

[Guest themetfairy]

They looked lackluster this evening. Hopefully home cooking will perk them up.
