LATE INNING HOMERFEST!

With the Outlaw Josey Wales down 7 runs in the bottom of the ninth, things were looking pretty bad for the 45,475 fans who had no idea they would witness an exciting game at Wreckin' So Field.

Fans stopped leaving for the exits when the Wales loaded the bases. Manager Hildebrant pinch hit Brennan Boesch who crushed a Jonathan Papelbon fastball for his first grand slam. With the Wales still down three runs, Alexi Ramirez booted an Ortiz groundball for an error and Adrian Gonzalez walked to bring the tying run to the plate. Dustin Pedroia pinch hit for Jason Bay and promptly deposited another Papelbon fastball into the deep seats to knot the game.

The Wales outburst ended as quickly as it started and no team scored for the next 3 1/2 innings. After an out was recorded in the top of the 13th, light-hitting, fan-favorite, all around good guy Omar Vizquel delivered an unlikely solo blast making Outlaw the winners and sending the 45,475 fans home in a fit of ecstasy.

Although they lost, Georgia did out-hit Outlaw 17 to 11.

The victory went to Joakim Soria(3-0) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs. Ryan Madson(1-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. He surrendered 2 hits and 1 walk in 2 and 1/3 innings.

Hopefully Madson will improve his production at Closer as he most likely will battle Santos next season.
