September 12, 2006: The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword



Both teams jumped out of the gates early in this one. First, Matt Stairs greeted Fleetwood pitcher Greg Maddux rudely with a 3-run homer in the 1st. Not to be outdone, the Walkers quickly scored 3 runs on Royals starting pitcher Matt Clement. After 1 inning, the game was tied 3-3.

Suddenly, both Maddux and Clement settled in. Both pitched strongly the reminder of the game. Clement would pitch 7 total innings, allowing just two more Fleetwood runs. Maddux would throw 6 innings, allowing just one more Cincinnati run. After 6 innings, the Walkers led 5-4.

Once again, Fleetwood turned to its bullpen. And once again, the team's relief pitchers were up to the challenge. They threw 3 scoreless innings, running their scoreless streak to 25.1 innings. (The last run allowed: Derrick Turnbow's blown save on September 1.) Turnbow was sharp on this day, though, throwing the final 1.1 innings for the save. Greg Maddux earned the win.
