September 27, 2007: NL Wild Card Game 1

NL Wild Card Game 1 – Springfield at Fleetwood
Cliff Lee (17-6, 3.04 ERA) vs. Ervin Santana (19-6, 3.58 ERA)

Each team sent out its top-winner from the regular season, and both pitchers were up to the challenge early. The game was scoreless through two innings, but Fleetwood drew first blood against Springfield's Cliff Lee on doubles by David Wright and Miguel Cabrera in the 3rd.

The Isotopes responded immediately, though, scoring twice in the top of the 4th. Key among this rally were two misplays by the usually reliable Fleetwood defense. First, Barry Bonds misplayed a Moises Alou hit into an RBI triple. On the next batter, pitcher Ervin Santana committed an error, allowing the second run to score from 3rd base. An RBI double by Mike Cameron one inning later made the score 3-1 in favor of Springfield.

Fleetwood pulled within one run when Mike Redmond's two-out RBI single scored Miguel Cabrera in the bottom of the 6th. Then, down 3-2 with 2 outs and 2 on in the bottom of the 7th, Cabrera launched a 3-run homer. The score was now 5-3 in favor of the Walkers.

Jason Bartlett added an insurance run for Fleetwood in the 8th inning, and Trevor Hoffman relieved Ervin Santana for the save.

Final score: Fleetwood 6, Springfield 3.
W: Santana (1-0). L: Lee (0-1). SV: Hoffman (1).
HR: Mig. Cabrera (1).
