Warpigs 3, Wahoos 3

All games played with dice and cards... as God intended.

First 3 games @ The Reservation

Gm1 - Wahoos win 6-2. Kendrys Morales homers twice as Jordan Zimmermann bests Wily Peralta. Mark Melancon gets Pujols with the bases loaded in the 8th, then cruises thru the 9th for the save. Scott Van Slyke homered for the Pigs.

Gm2 - Warpigs win 3-0. Despite the 19/19 park, Stephen Strasburg tosses a 3-hit shutout. He carried a no-hitter into the 6th.

Gm3 - Wahoos win 9-8. In the most entertaining game of the night, the Wahoos walk it off with a triple by Jordy Mercer. The Warpigs had battled back from deficits of 5-1 and 8-4 with a 4-run top of the 8th - keyed by a bases loaded pinch hit double by pitcher Jose Fernandez.

Next 3 games played @ The BallPork

Gm4 - Wahoos win 3-2. The key hit was a 2-run homer in the 5th by Gregor Blanco on a HR1-6, fly roll. I mean, the guy doesn't even have N power! Come onnnnnn. Van Slyke homered in the 9th, but it wasn't enough.

Gm5 - Warpigs win 3-0. Another shutout for the Pigs - this one a 4-hitter by Adam Wainwright. Albert Pujols homered for the Pigs.

Gm6 - Warpigs win 2-1. This game was also entertaining, but only if you like stellar pitching. Wily Peralta and Nathan Eovaldi were both tough to score on. Yadier Molina homered in the 1st, and then singled in another run in the 8th. Molina also doubled. Peralta was aided by 3 double plays and a triple play - all in the first 5 innings. He also got late help from Michael Wacha and Casey Fien. In the 9th, down 2-0, the Wahoos tried to rally. A walk and a single off of Wacha put the tying runs on. After Fien came in, both runners pulled off the double steal. The shutout bid ended on a SacFly, but Fien got Moises Sierra to fly out to center to end the game.
