Warpigs 4, Buckeyes 1

The bones were a-rollin' at the Pigsty, but it was a quiet day for the Buckeye bats.

7/20 - @ Buckeyeville - Warpigs win 5-3. Steven Strasburg (12-6) made up for his last start by holding down the Buckeyes and getting the Warpigs to 100 wins. Yoenis Cespedes homered and tripled. Edwin Encarnacion also homered for the Pigs. Fernando Rodney got his 45th save.

7/21 - @ Buckeyeville - Warpigs win 13-5. The Pigs hit 5 homers, 3 of them coming from the cleanup spot in the lineup by 3 different players (Ruggiano, Jaso, Prado). Encarnacion and Yadier Molina also homered. Cliff Lee (14-9) went 8 for victory.

8/18 - @ The BallPork - Warpigs win 14-3. The Pigs (15 hits) kept hitting and the Buckeyes (2 errors) kept playing sloppy defense. Prince Fielder hit a 3-run homer in the 1st, and Cespedes homered twice. Jordan Zimmermann (15-7) went 5 innings and Darren Oliver threw 4 innings for his 2nd save of the year.

8/19 - @ The BallPork - Buckeyes win 4-1 in 10 innings. Rickie Weeks had a 3-run pinch hit homer off of Rodney to get the Buckeyes back in the win column. Oliver (1-3) took the loss. Jeff Karstens pitched well for the Buckeyes. The Warpigs were held to 6 hits - all singles.

8/20 - @ The BallPork - Warpigs win 5-1. Cliff Lee (15-9) tossed a complete game, allowing only 3 hits and striking out 11. Encarnacion hit another homer for the Pigs.

The 5 starting pitchers for the Warpigs walked exactly 2 batters in the 5 games, and those were both by Zimmermann in game 3.
