Tweeners 2, Buckeyes 0

Thanks to the Flyin' Hawaiian, Tweeners sweep a doubleheader at the Hooverdome to finish the homestand 3-2 vs. Buckeyes. The re-cap:
Game 1 was a see-saw affair that went extra innings. Wilson Ramos homered off Joel Hanrahan in the 10th to give the Buckeyes a 5-4 win.
In game 2, Cole Hamels retired 10 batters on strikeouts and Hunter Pence had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the GLENN Buckeyes defeated the NORM TWEENERS by the score of 4 to 1 at The Hooverdome.

Hamels(2-0) looked very much in control throughout the day. He allowed just 5 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings. GLENN banged out 8 hits on the afternoon.

Koji Uehara preserved the game for Hamels, recording his his 2nd. Madison
Bumgarner(4-7) was given the loss. Hamels was asked about his big strikeout
performance, 'Well, it's a little odd when you rack up these numbers on the
road - instead of cheers and a running tally in the stands, everything gets
real still and quiet. Just strange - but it's nice to be able to take the
crowd out of the game.'

In game 3, the Buckeyes scored 6 runs in the 4th inning before manager George Brett could get his thumb out of his ass and Ivan Nova out of the game, but the Tweeners refused to concede. Led by Shane Victorino's 10 total bases (2 triples and a homer), Tweeners grind out a 7-6 win.

In the opener of the doubleheader, Victorino homered twice and MadBum outpitched Hamels for a 5-2 victory.

Game 5, Victorino went yard again (3 run shot), Presley was 4 for 4 with 3 RBIs, Tweeners cruise 10-1.
