Tweeners 3, FFTs 3

Tweeners (somehow) split 6 games with FFTs. Games 1-3 @ FFTs. #1, neither team manages an extra base hit, but FFTs score 3 in the 1st inning and win 3 – 0. Game #2 Roy Oswalt (again) beats his former mates , Tweeners get out-hit 12-6 and lose 4-2. Game #3, we avoid a sweep on the road as Shane Victorino carries us to a 4-3 win. Shane homers, then triples, then singles, and then on a DO13-SI he rolls 14. His contract calls for a bonus of a 40 oz. Colt 45 if he hits for the cycle, and this was close enough that Tweeners' management honored him with a fifth of Boones Farm Strawberry Hill. Games 4-6 move to the Hooverdome. Game 4, FFTs score a run in the 1st, but MadBum carries a no-hitter through 7.1 until Pujols rolls a SI*, Tweeners win the one –hitter 4-1. After 4911 regular season tries (plus a smattering of post-season games), Tweeners again fail to throw a no-hitter. In game #5 a 4-run 2nd chases Lilly (3-run homer by Rosario) but FFTs peck away and win 5-4, Mariano with his 3rd save in 3 chances. Tweeners win game #6 by a score of 3-1 on the strength of a Corey Hart HR and a quality start from Ivan Nova. No late-inning drama in the series, as Mariano and Romo (2 saves) and Hanrahan (1) all do their job.
