6-4 HOOS bottom of the 9th, Blanco on the mound. First batter for GT bounces out to Becker at short.
Next batter lines a base hit up the middle. One on and one out, tying run to the plate.
Tie game on a two strike, two run homer. No idea why we kept Blanco in here to face two righties, also their two best hitters.
Blanco STILL in, gives up another base hit up the middle. Winning run now on 1st, one out.
We have only one bonafide closer. But we need to use him as a starter because he’s also one of our best three starters.
Wow. Blanco gets a K swinging, runner at 1st steals 2nd but batter interference is called to end the inning.
We head to extras, game tied at 6.

Becker is then thrown out trying to steal 2nd. Nobody on and two down now for Ford, 1-1 count.
Ford on a full count K’s swinging.
