June 14, 2006: Buehrle Mellows Yellows

Game 2 of this three-game series pitted the Fleetwood Walker's Mark Buehrle against the North Georgia Yellow Jacket's Paul Byrd.

Fleetwood got off to a great start, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. A costly North Georgia error caused most of the damage when Corey Patterson dropped a Miguel Cabrera sacrifice fly. Both David Wright and Derrek Lee scored on the play, and Miguel Cabrera scored one batter later when Javier Valentin came through with an RBI single. Miguel Cabrera later added a 3-run homer in the 7th inning.

Meanwhile, Mark Buehrle was on top of this game. Buehrle went the distance on this day, allowing just 7 hits and 2 runs (1 earned) in 9 innings. Fleetwood had won again, this time by a final score of 6-2.
