August 25, 2006: The Comeback Kids

Fleetewood welcomed the powerful Box City Parcelmen to John Locke Field for a 4-game set. Pitching in the series' opening game were Carl Pavano for the Parcelmen and Esteban Loaiza for the Walkers.

Box City jumped out to an early 4-1 lead. Leading the charge for the Parcelmen were Jay Gibbons (who hit a solo home run in the 2nd inning), Miguel Tejada (who hit an RBI double in the 3rd inning), and Jason Bay (who hit a 2-run double in the 3rd inning).

In the 5th inning, Fleetwood drew within one run of Box City thanks to a solo homer by left fielder David DeJesus and a bases-loaded walk by catcher Javier Valentin.

When Miguel Cabrera drove in a run with a double in the 7th inning, the game was tied. Ramon Castro soon followed with a two-run double, and Fleetwood led 6-4.

With two outs in the 8th inning, Fleetwood manager Rube Foster called on Derrick Turnbow to close out the game. Turnbow did just that, and Fleetwood had earned a come-from-behind victory.
