Having been swept at Fleetwood, Jon Kjarsgaard and his Isotopes were in no doubt on thin ice with Springfield owner C. Montgomery Burns. Burns is not one to suffer defeat lightly, and would likely release the hounds if the losing ways continued at Duff Stadium.Whatever threats Burns may have verbalized to his team prior to the game, it appears the warnings must have worked...especially on the heretofore struggling Keith Ginter, who went 2-4 on the day with his first home run on the season.
This offense, combined with excellent pitching from Mark Mulder (6 IP, 5 H, 1 R) and David Weathers (3 IP, 1 H, 0 R), gave Springfield its first victory over Fleetwood this season. Final score: Fleetwood 1, Springfield 5.
July 13: Fleetwood 4, Springfield 0
Fleetwood's A.J. Burnett continued his all-star season by leading the Walkers to a shutout victory over Springfield. Burnett pitched into the 9th inning, surrendering just 6 hits and 2 walks against 8 strikeouts.Arthur Rhodes relieved Burnett with two runners on board in the 9th inning, retiring Springfield's next three hitters in order to end the game.
Also staring for Fleetwood were David DeJesus, who hit a solo home run in the top of the 6th inning, and Jim Edmonds, who robbed Lew Ford of an extra-base hit in the bottom of the 6th.
July 14: Fleetwood 3, Springfield 4 (10 innings)
Leading 3-1 in the bottom of the 7th, Fleetwood's Rube Foster turned to his usually reliable bullpen to save the game for Esteban Loaiza (6.1 IP, 6 H, 1 ER). Loaiza had given up a one-out double to ex-Walker Shannon Stewart, and left the game in favor of Scott Downs.
Downs quickly surrendered a run on back-to-back singles before giving way to Arthur Rhodes. Rhodes escaped further damage, but Fleetwood's lead was now cut to just 3-2.
Foster brought in Juan Dominguez in the bottom of the 8th inning. Springfield's Kelly Johnson greeted Dominguez rudely, hitting a solo home run to tie the game 3-3. The Isotopes nearly scored another run on a Justin Morneau double, but Dominguez and the Walkers managed to escape the inning with a tie still intact.Neither team was able to score in the 9th inning, and the game headed into extra innings. David Weathers held Fleetwood scoreless in the 10th, and set Springfield up for a possible win in the bottom of the inning.
Hank Blalock drew a walk off Fleetwood's Derrick Turnbow to begin the 10th. Cal Eldred then came in to pitch, but quickly gave up a single to Morneau. A groundout by Stewart put runners on 2nd and 3rd with only 1 out. With right-handed Angel Berroa on deck, Foster directed Eldred to intentionally walk lefty Scott Hatteberg to set up a potential double play. Unfortunately for Fleetwood fans, though, Berroa would knock in the winning run with an RBI groundout. The game was over, and Springfield had earned a come-from-behind victory over its rival Fleetwood.
July 15: Fleetwood 10, Springfield 6
The final game of the season between these two foes was a wild and woolly affair, with a run being scored in every inning except the 3rd and 9th. In total, the teams combined for 16 runs on 29 hits.
Fleetwood grabbed an early lead on a Derrek Lee homer and a Bobby Crosby RBI single. Springfield countered with an RBI double by Scott Hatteberg, and the score was 2-1 in favor of Fleetwood after 2 innings.
After a scoreless 3rd inning, the Walkers extended their lead in the top of the 4th. Jermaine Dye hit a 2-run homer, and Luis Matos followed later with an RBI single to extend Fleetwood's lead to 5-1. Springfield answered back in the bottom of the inning, though, scoring twice on a Angel Berroa sacrifice fly and a David Ross RBI single. Fleetwood's lead was now just 5-3.
The Walkers bounced right back, scoring two more runs in the 5th inning. Jermaine Dye was once again in the middle of the action, hitting a solo home run (his 2nd HR of the day). A based-loaded walk by Marcus Giles accounted for Fleetwood's other run.
Again, though, Springfield would not surrender. Hank Blalock scored a run after hitting a double in the 5th inning, and Springfield scored two more runs in the 6th inning following a Kelly Johnson triple. David Ross drove Johnson home with an RBI single, and went to third base one batter later when David DeJesus dropped a Jose Vidro fly ball for a 2-base error. Lew Ford drove Ross home with an RBI groundout, and Fleetwood now led by only a 7-6 margin.
The Walkers quickly answered the bell themselves, scoring a run in the 7th inning on a lead-off single by Dye (his 4th hit of the day) and a two-out double by DeJesus. Fleetwood then added more insurance in the 8th inning, scoring twice on a Derrek Lee RBI double and a Jermaine Dye RBI single. The score was now 10-6 in favor of Fleetwood, which is how the game would end after a scoreless 9th inning.Dye ended the day going 5-5 with 2 home runs, 4 runs scored, and 4 runs batted in. In doing so, he helped Fleetwood earn a split of the 4-game series at Springfield. Fleetwood also took the season series, winning 5 of the 7 contests.
Somewhere, Monty Burns is in no doubt stewing in anger and plotting his revenge in 2007.
