The Inmates leapfrogged the Rhinoids, moving into 1st place in the HWD thanks to a 7-3 day. The final 5 games ended up in a 3-2 thrashing of the Warpigs.
Gm1 - Inmates win 2-1. Brandon Beachy is pretty good. A 2-run homer by A.J. Pierzynski provided the offense.
Gm2 - Warpigs win 5-2. Solo homers by Nate Schierholtz, Prince Fielder, and Yoenis Cespedes helped Adam Wainwright to the victory. Fernando Rodney got his 40th save.
Gm3 - Warpigs win 8-6 in 15 innings. Easily the most interesting of the 5 games. Austin Jackson hit a 2-run homer in the 9th inning to give the Pigs a 6-5 lead. The homer gave Jackson, who had singled in the 1st, tripled in the 3rd, and doubled in the 5th, the cycle. Then in the bottom of the 9th, Adrian Beltre homered off of Fernando Rodney to tie the game. The game stayed tied until the 15th, when John Jaso drew a 2-out walk ahead of a 2-run homer by Edwin Encarnacion. Rodney, the last Pig pitcher, went 7 innings for the win, striking out 11. The last few innings included Jaso catching, Yadier Molina at 1b, Martin Prado at ss, Encarnacion at 3b, and no DH. 26 of 30 Pigs played in the game.
Gm4 - Inmates win 7-6. The Inmates scored 2 in the 8th off of Brad Ziegler for the come from behind win.
Gm5 - Inmates win 5-2. Brandon Beachy is really pretty good. A 3-run homer by Beltre in the 7th was the difference.

Game #1 was a great pitching staff duel. Not much offense in the BallPork.
Game #2 was the great defensive show at the Pig hot corner, with two Warpig 3rd basemen allowing 3 errors and a hit in less than three innings. Billingsley countered for the Inmates by giving up three homers...
Game #3 was the game that would never end. Rodney pitched 14innings. Some Pig-mofo hit a homer in the 15th off of Grilli's card. Shit.
Game #4 was another prototypical see-saw battle. 13 pitchers total. The Inmates got lucky and scored last.
Game #5 had the Inmates get at least one hit in every inning. A Beltre 3-run tater in the 7th iced things.
The Pigs made 6 errors in 5 games. 4 by Encarnacion and 1 each by Prado and Freese. ALL SIX were made at 3b.
