May 17, 2009: Brooklyn at Fleetwood

This interesting game had some back-and-forth scoring in the early going. Both pitchers racked up the strikeouts, but also the runs allowed. Heading into the bottom of the 5th, Brooklyn held a tenuous 4-3 lead over Fleetwood.

In the 4th inning, the Walkers plated 4 runs off Brooklyn pitcher Javier Vazquez. A double by Carlos Pena was key, as was a two-out Carlos Beltran single that plated the inning's final run and gave Fleetwood a 7-4 lead.

A.J. Burnett settled down until allowing back-to-back doubles to lead off the 8th inning. With the game now in the balance, my team called on lefty J.P. Howell to put out the fire. Howell did a fantastic job, striking out Ryan Church and Yadier Molina for the inning's first two outs. He then retired Darin Erstad on a flyout, ending the threat.

When B.J. Ryan came in and pitched a scoreless 9th for Fleetwood, the game was over. The Walkers had won by a 7-5 final score.
