May 12, 2009: Santa Barbara at Fleetwood

Another great game began as a duel between Santa Barbara's Matt Garza and Fleetwood's Chad Billingsley. Both pitchers were strong through 4 innings, but began to show fatigue soon after.

First, Fleetwood grabbed a 3-1 lead with three runs in the 5th inning. Key moments in this rally were an error by Santa Barbara third baseman Carlos Guillen, an RBI triple by Howie Kendrick, and an RBI single by Rafael Furcal.

The Outlaws bounced right back against Billingsley in the 6th, though. Carlos Lee led off with a walk, followed by singles from Torii Hunter and Akinori Iwamura. Fleetwood brought in Hong-Chih Kuo to face Chris Duncan, but Santa Barbara countered with pinch-hitter Dmitri Young. Kuo struck out Young, but A.J. Pierzynski picked up his teammate with an RBI double. The game was now tied 3-3.

In the bottom of the same inning, Fleetwood responded with 4 runs of their own. Miguel Cabrera and Carlos Beltran led off the inning with back-to-back doubles. Chris Iannetta followed, and sent a long flyball deep into the brisk May air. This 2-run homer extended Fleetwood's lead to 6-3. Nick Markakis added an RBI double later in the same inning to make it a 7-3 game.

The Walkers turned to lefty B.J. Ryan in the 8th. Ryan retired Carlos Lee on a deep flyball, but quickly saw the bases become loaded with hits from Hunter and Iwamura plus a walk from Jayson Werth.

Fleetwood manager Rube Foster turned to J.P. Howell in an attempt to escape this jam, but A.J. Pierzynski continued to bedevil the Walkers with a 2-run double. Fleetwood's lead was now just 7-5, but Howell retired Derek Jeter to end the threat.

Howell remained in the game in the 9th, and retired the Outlaws in order. He had earned the save, and the game was over. In a tight series, each team had won two games apiece.
