September 4, 2006: Exterminated

Looking to earn a split of the four-game series, Bloomington scored two quick runs in the 1st inning. Alfonso Soriano and Nick Swisher knocked in the runs with an RBI single and an RBI double respectively.

Once again, though, Fleetwood answered back in a big way. In the bottom of the 1st frame, Miguel Cabrera connected off Bloomington rookie Francisco Liriano for a 3-run homer. The Walkers then added two more runs in the 2nd inning on a Bobby Crosby home run.

Given an early lead, Fleetwood starting pitcher Esteban Loaiza never looked back. He pitched his team into the 7th inning, allowing just 2 runs in the process. Scott Downs, Arthur Rhodes, and Derrick Turnbow pitched well in relief, and Fleetwood had won 3 in a row after a tough loss to open its September schedule.
