Warpigs 4, Buckeyes 1

Cards and dice...

@ The BallPork

Gm6 - Warpigs win 6-3 in 10 innings. After making no errors in the first 5 games of the series, the Buckeyes made 2 in the 1st and another in the 3rd putting them in an early hole. But the Buckeyes come back to tie it despite having a 1-17 runner thrown out at home and missing a 1-19 single with a runner at 3rd. The game was tied into the 10th when Albert Pujols pinch hit a 3-run homer off of Koji Uehara. It was the 2nd game in a row for a Pig pinch hitter to hit a walk off homer.

Gm7 - Warpigs win 3-0. The Pigs only had 4 hits, but 3 of them were solo home runs by Pujols, Austin Jackson, and Melky Cabrera. Adam Wainwright shuts down the Buckeyes for his 20th win.

@ The Buckeye Livestock Pavilion

Gm8 - Buckeyes win 10-4. Stephen Strasburg gave up a 3-run homer to Eric Chavez in the 2nd and took an early exit to the showers. The Pigpen was called on to finish the game against a HR hitting team in a HR hitting park. And they did. Five Buckeye homers. Pujols continues his fountain of youth series with 2 more homers.

Gm9 - Warpigs win 6-2. Alejandro De Aza hit a 3-run homer in the 1st, and Wainwright shuts down the Buckeye bats again. Yadier Molina had 3 hits.

Gm10 - Warpigs win 8-0. Jose Fernandez threw the complete game shutout, striking out 17. He allowed only 3 hits and 2 walks. The second time thru the Buckeye lineup, Fernandez struck out 8 of the 9 hitters. Little used Matt Wieters homered twice. Darwin Barney even muscled up for a home run.

Pujols loved Buckeye pitching. He went 10-21 with 6 homers and 11 RBI. And he only started in 5 of the games.
