Entering the final month in a dead heat with Maine, the Fleetwood Walkers looked to kick off their divisional schedule on the right foot. First up were the Bloomington Bees.
Rookie Matt Cain made his BRASSball debut for Bloomington, dazzling everybody in attendance with a complete game in his first start. By evening's end, he had allowed just two runs.Luckily for Fleetwood, veteran Greg Maddux was nearly as impressive as Cain. Maddux threw 6 full innings, allowing just one run in the process. Another veteran, Arthur Rhodes, added another scoreless inning in the 7th.
With a 2-1 lead in the 8th inning, Fleetwood then turned to one of its rookies to slam the door on the Bees. Derrick Turnbow had pitched in tight spots all season, and looked to go two innings today to end the game.
Turnbow struck out Kevin Millar to begin the 8th, but then walked pinch-hitter Jim Thome. After retiring the always-difficult Ichiro Suzuki, the Walkers were looking ahead to the 9th.Bloomington left fielder Terrmel Sledge had other ideas, though, and crushed a Turnbow offering deep into the black night. The two-run homer gave Bloomington the lead, and Cain retired Fleetwood in the 9th to end the game. Final score: Bloomington 3, Fleetwood 2.
