August 20-23, 2006: Fleetwood at Plaza

August 20: Fleetwood 2, Plaza 3
An exciting series began with A.J. Burnett taking the hill for Fleetwood and ex-Walker Derek Lowe doing the same for Plaza.

Plaza jumped out to an early lead, scoring twice in the first inning on a David Ortiz double. The Lions added another run in the 2nd inning when a Michael Young single scored Geoff Jenkins.

Fleetwood scored two runs in the 5th inning when David DeJesus hit a home run, but Lowe and the Plaza bullpen proved too tough. Lowe earned the win with 7 strong innings, and Aaron Fultz picked up a save by collecting the last 4 outs.

August 21: Fleetwood 2, Plaza 5
Plaza again asserted itself early, scoring 5 runs in the first 3 innings. Michael Young keyed most of this scoring, collecting two hits, a steal, a run and an RBI in his first two at-bats of the day.

Fleetwood scratched out two runs by the end of the game, but Plaza starter Jake Westbrook remained in control throughout 7 strong innings. The Lions bullpen once again slammed the door shut on the Walkers, this time with Bobby Howry earning the save.

August 22: Fleetwood 1, Plaza 4
For the third straight game, Fleetwood fell behind even before breaking open the sunflower seeds. On this day, Plaza knocked David Bush out of the game in the 2nd inning with 4 early runs. A two-run homer by Geoff Jenkins did much of the damage.

On the mound, Bartolo Colon dominated the Walkers (8 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 8 K). Howry once again closed things out, earning his second save in as many days.

August 23: Fleetwood 6, Plaza 2
Faced with possibly being swept for the first time since May 13-15 (at Toledo), Fleetwood finally grabbed control of the game early. The Walkers scored single runs in both the 1st and 2nd innings, and then plated two more runs in both the 4th and 5th innings. Add it all up, and Fleetwood led 6-0 after 5 innings.

Plaza responded with a run in the 6th inning and another in the 8th, but Fleetwood lefty Mark Buehrle never lost control of the game. By day's end, he had thrown a complete-game seven-hitter. Starring at the dish for the Walkers were Marcus Giles (3-5, 2B, R, RBI), David Wright (1-5, HR, 2 RBI), Javier Valentin (2-3, 2B, RBI), and Jim Edmonds (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI).
