May 25, 2009: Malibu at Fleetwood

The Walkers have been tough on left-handed pitching all season, and that trend continued on this evening versus Malibu's Jeremy Sowers. Fleetwood plated 7 runs in the game's first 5 innings, highlighted by homers from Chris Iannetta and David Wright.

Entering the 6th inning, the Walkers held a comfortable 7-2 lead. With one out, though, Pedro Feliz drew a rare walk off Fleetwood's Ervin Santana. Hideki Matsui followed with a walk of his own. Santana then hung a breaking ball to the powerful Mike Napoli, who crushed it for a 3-run home run. The game was suddenly a close one at 7-5.

By the time Napoli came up again, the score remained 7-5 with one out in the 8th inning. At this point, I had my manager Rube Foster bring in lefty B.J. Ryan to face him. Ryan retired him on a fly ball, and retired Martin Prado to end the inning.

In the bottom of the 8th, Miguel Cabrera delivered a 2-run double with 2 outs to give my team some insurance runs. Ryan stayed in the game at pitcher, and retired the side in order in the 9th (including 2 strikeouts). Fleetwood had won 9-5.

Malibu fell behind quickly as the Fleetwood offense came through in the first

The victory was credited to Ervin Santana(7-3) who went 7 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 5 runs. The loss was charged to Jeremy Sowers(2-5). He was knocked
