| Defensive replacement Willy Taveras'es two-base error in the top of the ninth contributed to the New York Knight's two-run comeback and ace closer Joakim Soria's blown save. New York's one-run lead looked good with opposing ace Takashi Saito on the mound, but Aramis Ramirez led off and he doubled. Pinch runner Ryan Theriot quickly stole third base. Melvin Mora then delivered a base-hit bringing in the tying run. After an out was recorded, Adrian Gonzalez came to the plate and doubled, Mora holding at third. Willy Taveras was next to the plate, but was promptly struck out. Ryan Ludwick did his part to keep things going and doubled making Outlaw the victors to the delight of the home town faithful. |

Ryan Ludwick hit a homerun and had 2 RBI as the Outlaw Josey Wales won in
dramatic fashion over the New York Knights by a score of 5 to 4 at Wreckin'
So Field.
Outlaw won the game with a rally in the bottom of the 9th inning scoring 2
runs utilizing 4 base hits. Aramis Ramirez started the inning off right when
he doubled. Theriot proceeded to steal third base. Melvin Mora then slapped
a base-hit which scored a run. After an out was recorded, Adrian Gonzalez
came up and he doubled. Willy Taveras dug into the batters box next, but he
struck out. Ludwick kept the rally going and doubled resulting in an
exciting win for Outlaw and a wild post-game celebration by the home town
fans. For the game Outlaw out-hit New York 10 to 6.
The victory went to Joakim Soria(2-4) who went 1 inning, allowing 2 runs.
Takashi Saito(1-2) was given the loss in relief. The Outlaw ballclub's
record now stands at 46-35. Mitchell Pak was unhappy with his club's recent
performance. 'We can't keep losing games' he said. 'It gets to be
embarrassing after a while.'
