Warpigs 1, FFTs 0

In the "Get me to 35 games" series, Stephen Strasburg and the Warpigs defeated Jeff Samardzija and the FFTs 3-1.

The FFTs scored in the first on yet another hit on an outfield-x. The Pigs scored 2 runs with 2 outs in the 6th. After the first two batters struck out, Yadier Molina singled and came all the way around to score on a double by Melky Cabrera. The throw from Jon Jay was cut to try and get Melky going for third (1-6), but the roll came up 4 and he was safe. Taking that base proved to be important when Melky then scored the go ahead run on a passed ball. Cody Ross homered off of Chris Capuano in the 7th for an insurance run. The FFTs loaded the bases in the 9th, but little-used Carlos Martinez came in to get Hunter Pence to bounce out to end the game. It was Martinez's first save.
