| The Road Kill lit into Outlaw's bullpen in the ninth inning for three runs and sent the potential tying run to third base with one out. Joakim Soria saved the day again by inducing Ryan Garko to ground out to third and Spilborghs to fly out to left. "A guy who can shut the door on a team as powerful as Georgia two days in a row has got to be our MVP", spouted Andy Pettitte who was credited with the win and joined Jake Peavy in the "I Owe Joakim Soria A Dinner" club. Ryan Ludwick's three-run blast in the bottom of the seventh was the big hit for Outlaw who managed seven runs on only eight hits. |

Alfonso Soriano collected 2 extra-base hits and had 2 RBI at Wreckin' So Field
as the Outlaw Josey Wales beat the Georgia Roadkill by the count of 7 to
6.
Outlaw had 4 runs cross the plate in the 3rd inning with the help of 4 hits.
The key at-bat was by Adrian Gonzalez who made the Outlaw fans a happy lot
when he laced a one-base hit plating two runs. Georgia had a chance in the
9th but they came up short.
The victory was credited to Andy Pettitte(4-6) who went 5 innings, allowing 3
runs. Joakim Soria gained credit for his 17th save. The losing pitcher was
Yovani Gallardo(4-1). He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 7 runs in
6 and 2/3 innings.
'Some losses are harder to take than others' Johnny Miller lamented after the
game. 'This was one of them.'
