May 9, 2009: Santa Barbara at Fleetwood

This game was a pitcher's dream, as neither team could manage to mount a rally. Santa Barbara managed to plate one run in the 6th inning on a Torii Hunter sacrifice fly, though. Heading into the 8th with a 1-0 lead, the Outlaws called on Jonathan Papelbon to protect the lead.

Rafael Furcal struck out to begin the frame, but Nick Markakis rapped a double to right field. David Wright followed with a walk, putting the go-ahead run on base. Carlos Pena then came through with a double of his own, plating Markakis to tie the game.

I had the choice of holding Wright at 3rd, or sending him home at a 1-13 chance (65%). Although my cleanup hitter Miguel Cabrera was on deck, I decided this might be my best chance to take the lead against Papelbon. As such, I gave Wright the green light. When the results came up, it was good news for the Outlaws. Wright was out.

Had I realized that Papelbon would now be fatigued (having given up 3 hits+walks with a relief rating of only 1), I very well may have held Wright up at 3rd base. Rather than stick with a tired Papelbon, Santa Barbara brought in righty Jim Johnson. Cabrera still had a chance to drive in Pena with a hit, but he only managed a flyball to center (which, incidentally, would have been good for a go-ahead sacrifice fly had I held Wright up).

The game eventually headed into extra innings. My Walkers pitched out of some jams in the 9th and the 10th, but didn't fare as well in the 11th. With my bullpen becoming depleted, I turned to Jose Veras against the bottom of Santa Barbara's order. Veras gave up doubles to 2 of the first 3 batters he faced, though, followed by a Blake Dewitt single later in the inning.

Now leading be a score of 3-1, Santa Barbara's D.J. Carrasco and Jared Burton retired Fleetwood in order and the 12-inning game was over.

Jered Weaver* pitched 7 strong innings at John Locke Field where the Santa
Barbara Outlaws beat the Fleetwood Walkers in 12 innings by the score of 3 to
1.

Both teams were tied at 1 runs apiece after nine innings. Santa Barbara won
the hard fought contest in the 12th inning. Jayson Werth led off and keyed
the rally when he doubled. After an out was recorded, Derek Jeter came to
the plate and doubled. Heath Bell then threw a wild pitch. Blake Dewitt
followed and he lined a base-hit. Maicer Izturis got his chance to keep
things going, but he went down on strikes. Adrian Gonzalez was a strikeout
victim, unable to help out. The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel
until the 6th inning.

Dan Giese(2-1) was the winner allowing no runs in 2 innings. Giese got help
from Jared Burton who earned his 3rd save. The loss was charged to Jose
Veras(0-1) in relief.
