July 21-23, 2006: Fleetwood at Glen Allen

July 21: Fleetwood 10, Glen Allen 5
Fleetwood's offense explodes for 10 runs, including 4 home runs. Miguel Cabrera (3-5, 2 HR, 4 RBI) led the charge, while Derrek Lee (3-4, HR, 2 RBI) and Jim Edmonds (1-3, HR, 3 RBI) also chipped in.

David Bush benefited from the run support and picked up the victory. Scott Downs relieved Bush after 7 innings, pitching two scoreless frames to end the game.

July 22: Fleetwood 4, Glen Allen 11
In a mirror image of the first game, Glen Allen pounded Fleetwood for 11 runs. Just as Fleetwood had done the day before, the Mets also hit 4 home runs...including 2 from its young star. Albert Pujols (3-4, 2B, 2 HR) was up to his usual tricks, while Jason Ellison (2-3, HR, 3 RBI) and Jose Molina (2-3, HR, 2 RBI) showed surprising power.

Mark Buehrle's sluggish season continued, as he allowed 7 runs and 3 homers in just 2.2 innings pitched.

July 23: Fleetwood 5, Glen Allen 2
Esteban Loaiza and Chris Carpenter dueled in a rematch of their July 18 tilt at Fleetwood, a game in which a late Walkers comeback attempt had fallen just short. Both pitchers were on top of their games, although Loaiza's great effort (7 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K) could not quite match Carpenter's exceptional one (8 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 12 K).

Loaiza gave way to Juan Dominguez in the 8th inning, but Dominguez's season-long struggle with the long-ball continued. Sean Casey hit a solo home run, extending Glen Allen's lead to 2-0 entering the 9th inning.

The Mets turned to lefty Mike Gonzalez to pitch the 9th inning. Gonzalez has had his struggles in 2006, and Fleetwood hoped to capitalize. And capitalize they did.

After lead-off walks to both Miguel Cabrera and Jim Edmonds, Ryan Doumit hit a one-out double to score a run. With first base open and looking for a double-play, Gonzalez walked Josh Phelps intentionally to load the bases.

Crosby, a lefty-killer all season, came through for Fleetwood with an RBI single. The game was now tied. After a Marcus Giles strikeout, Gonzalez gave up another hit...this time to David DeJesus. This two-out hit plated two more runners, and Fleetwood had grabbed a sudden 2-run lead. Gonzalez struck out the side by retiring Derrek Lee, but the damage was done.

Arthur Rhodes, who had come in for Dominguez to pitch a scoreless 8th, remained in the game for the 9th and retired Glen Allen in order to end the game. Fleetwood had successfully completed this day's comeback, and thus won 2 of 3 games at Glen Allen and 5 of 7 on the season.
