Clay Hensley (12-8, 4.51 ERA) vs. Dave Bush (14-12, 3.28 ERA)
Fresh off a win in Game 1, Fleetwood came out shooting in Game 2. Following a Barry Bonds single, Miguel Cabrera hit his second home run of the series and gave the Walkers an early 2-0 lead.
Mike Cameron and Josh Willingham respond quickly for Springfield though. Willingham's sacrifice fly followed a one-out triple by Cameron, and the Walkers' lead was cut to 2-1.
Fleetwood's Javier Valentin again made it a 2-run game with a solo home run to lead off the 3rd inning. Meanwhile, Dave Bush cruised through the sixth inning without giving up another run.
In the bottom of the 6th inning, Jason Bartlett and David Wright led off with a single and a walk. Barry Bonds was next, and hit a groundball to second. However, not only did Ray Durham not convert the ball into a double-play, he also failed to get even one out. The error loaded the bases, and Fleetwood capitalized in a big way. The Walkers hit 5 singles before Springfield could finally end the inning. In the process, Fleetwood had scored 7 runs.
When the Walkers added another run in the 7th on a Carlos Beltran home run, the game appeared to be a laugher.
However, the Isotopes bats always keep them in the game. In the top of the 9th, Springfield followed a lead-off HBP with a single, a strikeout, another single, a double, one more single, and then back-to-back home runs by Ray Durham and Orlando Cabrera. In toal, the Isotopes scored 6 runs before Scott Downs finally retired pinch-hitter Ben Johnson to end the game. The Isotopes had fallen, but not without a fight. And now they were headed home to Duff Stadium.
Final score: Fleetwood 11, Springfield 7.
W: Bush (1-0). L: Hensley (0-1). SV: None.
HR: Durham (1), O. Cabrera (1), Mig. Cabrera (2), Beltran (1), Valentin (1).
