Game 1: Tinley scored 2 quick runs in the 1st inning when Geovany Soto hit a homer off of Justin Duchscherer. "The Duke" settled down after that, though, and would not allow another run. Meanwhile, Fleetwood's Jason Bartlett hit a rare home run (a 3-run shot, no less) in the 4th inning to give the Walkers a 4-2 lead.Following a one-out single by Soto in the 8th inning, Nate McLouth was up next for Tinley. I had my manager Rube Foster "play the percentages" and replace Duchscherer with lefty J.P. Howell. The move worked splendidly, as McLouth hit into an inning-ending double play.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, the Walkers plated 3 insurance runs. A two-out, two-run double by Ryan Doumit highlighted the scoring, although a cement-footed Chris Iannetta was thrown out at home to end an inning for the second time this year (bringing back memories of Opening Day). Unlike Opening Day, though, Fleetwood would win this one by a score of 7-2.
Game 2: Both teams pounced on each other early. After just 1 inning, the score was 3-3. However, whereas Fleetwood's bats quickly went cold, Tinley just kept on scoring. The Redbirds scored another run in the 2nd, and 4 more in the 3rd to drive A.J. Burnett out of the game early.
Fleetwood's bullpen came through with 6.2 scoreless innings, but a win was not meant to be. Tinley would win 8-4, with the game's star being Ryan Sweeney (3-4, 3 RBI, 2B, HR).
Game 3: Miguel Cabrera suffered through a poor month of April, but came through for Fleetwood on this day. He hit a 2-run homer in the 1st, and added an RBI single in the 3rd. When the Walkers scored 4 runs in the 6th on a 2-run double by Cody Ross and a 2-run homer by Ryan Doumit, the game was as good as over. Zack Greinke had earned another win, improving his season-to-date record to 4-0.The series headed to Tinley for the next 4 games. In the first game, Fleetwood plated 5 runs in the 1st and Ervin Santana pitched a complete-game 6-hitter in a 6-1 win. The second game was closer, but Daisuke Matsuzka (6.2 IP, 2 R) and a rubber-armed Chad Billingsley (2.1 IP, 0 R) led Fleetwood to a 7-2 victory. The third game was close through 8 innings, with Justin Duchscherer and Wandy Rodriguez starring for each team on the mound. The Walkers exploded for 6 runs in the 9th, though, capped by a grand-slam by Ryan Doumit. In the final game, Tinley avoided a sweep with a 3-2 victory. They did so in dramatic fashion, taking the lead with 2 runs in the 8th off a wild Chad Billinglsey (who walked 3 and threw a wild pitch in the inning).
At the end of April, Fleetwood's record was a sparkling 21-7 (11-3 at home, 10-4 on the road). Its bullpen had some shaky moments -- and there were a few managerial blunders along the way -- but overall the team's performance was good enough for a 3-game lead over Ionia and a 4-game lead over Thousand Oaks.
