The Tweeners report...
Tweeners take 4 of 5 at the Hooverdome to split the season series with the Drillers. The series featured 2 extra-inning games. Tweeners win game 1 in 11 innings. In game 3 pinch-hitter Roy Oswalt squeezed in the tying run in the bottom of the 9th, but Drillers went on to win in 15. In game 5 Oswalt took a no-hitter into the 7th inning, but Vlad Guerrero's one-out double left the Tweeners still in search of their first no-hitter in this their 27th season. Tweeners now 16-19 with zero demerits.

The Buckeyes took 4 of 5 at home against the Tweeners.

The Inmates swept two games via netplay over the Fungoes.

The HEAD INMATE reports...
Inmates took a pair from the Fungoes tonite via netplay. Fungi took it in the rear, losing the first game in 10 on a walk-off HR by Castro, then being shut down in game two by Santana.

Interesting tidbit – the first batter of each game tatered for the Fungi.

Inmates now 21-15.

The report from the Fungi echoed that...
Fungoes lose 2 of 2 to the Inmates today. In game one Sizemore leads off with a HR. Fungoes lose 5-4 with Castro hitting a walkoff HR in the 10th.

In game 2 Sizemore leads off with a HR. Fungoes are shut out the rest of the way by Santana and lose 2-1. Fungoes banged out 2 hits!

ouch!

The Wahoos and Warpigs split a pair of games today. Joba Chamberlain made his first appearance ever, getting a save.

The come from behind win in game 2 by the Pigs was not without some drama and some weirdness. Down 4-3, Travis Hafner started the 8th inning with a strikeout; but upon further review, was awarded a single due to Gil Meche being about 5 points beyond his POW. In came Juan Cruz to pitch to Albert Pujols. Adam "Pigman" Jones pinch ran for Pronk. The slumping Pujols, in what might be a first for him, was called on to hit and run. He missed the pitch and Jones was off and running. He failed to get a good lead, but still managed to steal the base and then advanced to third when the throw sailed into center. Now Pujols batted with the tying run 90 feet away. His slump, however, continued and Cruz struck him out.

With Victor Martinez coming up and Garrett Atkins on deck, Cruz intentionally walked VMart. Stephen Drew came on to pinch hit for Atkins and rolled a ballpark single (1-17) chance... an 85% chance to tie the game, but rolled a 20. There was no joy in Mudville.

Now, with two outs, Ryan Church pinch hit for Jason Bay. Cruz was lifted and replaced by Carlos Marmol. Church greeted him with a double to right. VMart was running from first and thanks to the extra points for not being held (+1), two outs (+2), and Travis Buck's feeble arm (+3), Victor went from being 1-9 to 1-15 and scored easily to put the Pigs up 5-4.

Chamberlain's debut sealed the rare win for the visiting Warpigs.
