The Reds have just taken the lead in the game with a two
run home run. There is no one out in
the Reds half of the eighth inning. Oh,
woe for the Twins.
We are in the top of the ninth and the Reds closer is
mowing through our batters. The Reds
closer has not given up an earned run yet this year. I don’t think the Twins will tarnish his record. Mauer is making him work for the second out
of the inning. Maybe Mauer will come up
with a home run here. It is possible,
but not likely. They are now at a 3 and
2 count. Well, Mauer worked the pitcher
until he hit a double. With one out, we
have a runner in scoring position.
Willingham has just hit a line drive home run to put the Twins in the
lead 4 – 3. Unbelievable.
It’s the bottom of the ninth and the Twins have a lead
with a score of 4 – 3. We have walked
the first batter – never a good sign.
So the Reds have one on and nobody out.
All they have to do is tie it up and we will go into extra inning. They have moved the runner to second on a
sacrifice bunt. Now the tying run is on
second base. Will the Twins be able to
hold the Reds and get a win this afternoon?
Going into the top of the ninth, I thought we were doomed, now at least
there is hope. We have just walked the
second Red aboard. The next batter
lifted a soft fly to right that we caught for the second out of the
inning.
We just won the game with a
ground ball out. Amazing. I did not believe that this would have been
the outcome today. We won the series
with the Reds amazingly enough. Yeah!!!
