NL Wild Card Game Summaries: Glen Allen vs. Fleetwood

The National League Wild Card Series is complete! Game summaries of each contest are directly below, followed later by box scores of each game.

Game 1 - Glen Allen at Fleetwood
John Smoltz (17-5, 3.76 ERA) vs. A.J. Burnett (15-5, 3.12 ERA)

Two veteran pitchers locked horns in this opening game, with John Smoltz and A.J. Burnett each throwing 4 shutout frames to begin the game. Glen Allen drew first blood in the 5th when Fleetwood shortstop Jason Bartlett committed a costly throwing error on an Andre Ethier infield single.

In the bottom of the 7th, Fleetwood tied the game on a Ryan Doumit RBI single. Pinch hitter Josh Phelps stepped in next against Smoltz, and promptly whipped the hometown crowd into a frenzy with 3-run home run.

Glen Allen added a run in the 9th on a Ty Wigginton homer, but fell short of a comeback win.

Final score: Fleetwood 4, Glen Allen 2.
W: Burnett (1-0). L: Smoltz (0-1). SV: Corpas (1).
HR: Wigginton (1), Phelps (1).
Fleetwood leads series 1-0.

Game 2 - Glen Allen at Fleetwood
Jamie Moyer (14-11, 4.51 ERA) vs. Chad Billingsley (15-5, 3.51 ERA)

Fleetwood jumped on Glen Allen early thanks to a 2-run homer by Miguel Cabrera in the 1st inning. With the bases loaded in the 3rd, Cabrera delivered yet another homer. This grand slam made the score 6-0, and Glen Allen was in trouble.

The Mets plated one run in the top of the 5th inning, but Fleetwood's Carlos Pena responded in the bottom of the inning with a 3-run home run. Fleetwood added another run in the 6th, and cruised to an easy 10-1 win.

Chad Billingsley starred on the mound for the Walkers, striking out 8 batters against 0 walks in 7 innings.

Final score: Fleetwood 10, Glen Allen 1.
W: Billingsley (1-0). L: Moyer (0-1).
HR: Mi. Cabrera 2 (2), Pena (1).
Fleetwood leads series 2-0.

Game 3 - Fleetwood at Glen Allen
Kelvim Escobar (21-4, 4.27 ERA) vs. Tom Glavine (10-15, 4.91 ERA)

Needing a win badly, Glen Allen returned home and handed the ball to veteran lefty Tom Glavine. Fleetwood countered with Kelvim Escobar, winner of 21 games during the regular season.

Both pitchers held their opponent scoreless until the 4th inning. In the bottom of that frame, the Mets scored twice on a Mike Piazza single. The Walkers responded in the top of the 5th on a solo home run by Jesus Flores, making the score 2-1 in favor of Glen Allen.

The Mets hit a homer of their own in the 7th when Andre Ethier took Escobar deep. Like a heavyweight fight, Fleetwood punched right back in the 8th with an RBI single by David Wright and again in the 9th on a game-tying home run by Carlos Beltran.

In the bottom of the 9th, Ty Wigginton and Mike Piazza each hit one-out singles against Fleetwood reliever Heath Bell. Perhaps rattled by the loud Glen Allen crowd, Bell's first offering to shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt short-hopped catcher Ryan Doumit, and Wigginton scampered home with the winning run.

Final score: Glen Allen 4, Fleetwood 3.
W: Gregg (1-0). L: Bell (0-1).
HR: Beltran (1), Flores (1), Ethier (1).
Fleetwood leads series 2-1.

Game 4 - Fleetwood at Glen Allen
Greg Maddux (23-3, 3.47 ERA) vs. Jeff Supan (10-16, 5.94 ERA)

This game was a daytime affair, but the fans in attendance still saw more than their fair share of fireworks before the game was over.

Each team's lineup dominated the early innings, and neither starting pitcher -- Greg Maddux for Fleetwood and Jeff Suppan for Glen Allen -- would complete even 3 full innings. At the end of the 3rd, the Mets held a slight 6-5 advantage thanks to a 2-run homer by shortstop Alex Gonzalez.

After a scoreless 4th inning for both teams, Fleetwood plated two runs in the 5th on back-to-back home runs by David Wright and Barry Bonds. This temporarily gave the Walkers a one-run lead, but Glen Allen tied the game in the 6th on an RBI groundout by Ian Kinsler. The game remained deadlocked at 7-7 through the 7th and 8th innings.

In the top of the 9th, Cody Ross reached base for Fleetwood on a one-out single. After a David Wright strikeout, Melky Cabrera hit what appeared to be an easy "can of corn" to right fielder Andre Ethier. Ethier somehow dropped the ball, though, putting runners on 2nd and 3rd with just one out.

Glen Allen reliever Justin Hampson quickly issued an intentional walk to Miguel Cabrera, setting up a lefty-lefty matchup against Carlos Pena. With the hometown crowd on its feet, Hampson did not disappoint. He retired Pena on a flyball to left field, and the game remained tied.

Facing Heath Bell, Juan Pierre led of the bottom of the 9th with a single. After an Ian Kinsler strikeout, Bell grazed Aaron Boone's jersey with an inside fastball. That put runners on 1st and 2nd for Glen Allen's best hitter, Albert Pujols.

As he has so many times for the Mets, Pujols came through once more. He delivered an exciting walk-off single into left-center field, sending his fans home happy. With the win, Glen Allen had knotted the series 2-2 with ace John Smoltz ready to take the mound again in Game 5.

Final score: Glen Allen 8, Fleetwood 7.
W: Hampson (1-0). L: Bell (0-2).
HR: Wright (1), Bonds (1), Boone (1), Wigginton (2), Gonzalez (1).
Series tied 2-2.

Game 5 - Fleetwood at Glen Allen
A.J. Burnett (15-5, 3.12 ERA) vs. John Smoltz (17-5, 3.76 ERA)

Much as they had in Game One of the series, A.J. Burnett and John Smoltz once again battled one another in a tense pitchers' duel. Other than a solo homer by Glen Allen's Jason Michaels in the 3rd inning, neither team could mount a rally. After 5 innings, the score was 1-0 in favor of the hometown Mets.

With 9 strikeouts through 5 innings, Smoltz's dominance had come at the price of a high pitch count. In the top of the 6th, Fleetwood saw a lead-off single wiped out by a double-play groundout before putting two more runners on base with a Barry Bonds walk and a Miguel Cabrera single. With his ace pitcher clearly laboring, Glen Allen manager Jim Clark pulled Smoltz in favor of reliever Trever Miller. Miller pitched his team out of the jam with a groundout from Carlos Pena, keeping Smoltz in line for the win.

In the top of the 7th, though, Fleetwood would deny Smoltz his victory when Jason Bartlett tied the game with an RBI double. In the 8th, David Wright then gave Fleetwood its first lead of the day with a leadoff home run.

A.J. Burnett remained in the game to start the 8th inning, but surrendered a lead-off walk to Ian Kinsler. Fleetwood manager Rube Foster turned to reliever Manny Corpas, who saw Kinsler advance to second on a stolen base and to third on a Rick Ankiel flyout. Chris Snyder followed with a sacrifice fly, knotting the game 2-2. Despite a strong outing, Burnett would not earn a win either.

Neither team scored in the 9th, and the game headed to extra innings. Fleetwood thrived in such situation during the regular season, and this game proved no different. First, Melky Cabrera coaxed a leadoff walk from Glen Allen reliever Scott Proctor. A wild pitch then advanced him to second. Miguel Cabrera made Proctor pay for his wildness with an RBI single, giving Fleetwood a 3-2 lead. After recording two outs, Fleetwood added an insurance run following a Howie Kendrick walk and a Jesus Flores RBI single.

Despite having pitched 3 innings just once before during the 2008 season, Fleetwood asked Corpas to pitch one more frame in this pivotal game. He did so effectively, striking out two hitters in the bottom of the 10th. Fleetwood now led the series 3-2, and headed back home for Game 6.

Final score: Fleetwood 4, Glen Allen 2 (10 innings).
W: Corpas (1-0). L: Proctor (0-1).
HR: Wright (2), Michaels (1).
Fleetwood leads series 3-2.

Game 6 - Glen Allen at Fleetwood
Jamie Moyer (14-11, 4.51 ERA) vs. Chad Billingsley (15-5, 3.51 ERA)

Facing elimination, Glen Allen turned to Jamie Moyer. Meanwhile, Fleetwood pinned its hopes on young righthander Chad Billingsley, hoping he could match his Game 2 success and clinch the series win.

Both pitchers were up to the challenge early. Each surrendered single runs in the 2nd inning -- Billingsley on a solo home run by Alex Gonzalez, Moyer on a double-play groundout by Jesus Flores -- but otherwise held their opponent in check through 4 innings.

In the 5th inning, Fleetwood's Cody Ross connected with an off-speed pitch from Moyer for a 2-run homer. Jesus Flores hit a home run of his own off Moyer in the 6th, and the Walkers suddenly held a 4-1 lead.

Billingsley continued to dominate, pitching into the 8th inning before giving way to reliever Heath Bell. Bell struck out Albert Pujols in the 8th, and then hurled a scoreless inning in the 9th for the save. Fleetwood had won the game 4-1, and the series 4 games to 2. The Walkers will next face the Ocala Ocelots in a tough National League Divisional Series matchup.

Congratulations to Jim Clark and his Glen Allen Mets on a successful season.

Final score: Fleetwood 4, Glen Allen 1.
W: Billingsley (2-0). L: Moyer (0-2). SV: Bell (1).
HR: Gonzalez (2), Ross (1), Flores (2).
Fleetwood wins series 4-2.

Series Co-MVPs:
Chad Billingsley (2-0, 1.26 ERA, 14.1 innings, 16 strikeouts)
A.J. Burnett (1-0, 1.26 ERA, 14.1 innings, 18 strikeouts)
