Warpigs 4, Drillers 1

There has been a DD-sighting!

All games played via NetPlay. All games @ The Driller Oilfield

Game 1 - Warpigs win 3-1. Adam Wainwright (16-6) shut down the Driller bats. Understandable since those bats had been in the bag since April. Yoenis Cespedes (the new Red Sox) hit a 2-run homer off of Mike Minor in the 7th inning to give the Pigs the lead. The Pigs scored an unearned cushion run in the 8th. Yasiel Puig homered for the Drillers.

Game 2 - Warpigs win 7-3. After the first two Pig batters in the top of the 4th made outs, and with the game tied 2-2, the next five Pig hitters went: double, double, double, triple, double. And that was all she wrote. Stephen Strasburg (11-6) got the win with relief help. Bret Lawrie homered for the Pigs.

Game 3 - Warpigs win 4-3. Jose Fernandez (11-4) was sailing along until Asdrubal Cabrera hit a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 9th. Michael Wacha was summoned to get the last out in the 4-3 Pig win. Matt Wieters hit a 3-run homer, and Cody Ross had 3 hits for the Warpigs.

Game 4 - Warpigs win 6-5. Strasburg (12-6) pitched just well enough despite allowing 3 home runs. Casey Fien got the save. Yadier Molina had 3 hits and 3 RBI. Lawrie homered again.

Game 5 - Drillers win 1-0 in 12 innings. Fernandez and Patrick Corbin had a great pitcher's duel, but it was the shaky Pigpen that gave it up in the 12th. Puig led off with a double and was sacrificed to third. He scored on a single by Josh Donaldson. Joe Nathan got the win in relief. Carlos Martinez (0-1) took the loss.
