Warpigs 4, Wahoos 0

The Warpigs sweep the last 4 with the Wahoos. All games played with cards and dice.

All games @ The Reservation

Gm1 - Warpigs win 10-8. The Pigs blasted Anibal Sanchez with a 6-run top of the 1st, only to see the Wahoos erupt for 5 runs in the bottom of the 1st against Wily Peralta. The score was 8-8 in the top of the 8th when Alejandro De Aza singled and was bunted over to 2nd. Then up to the plate came pinch hitter Nick Castellanos for his 5th at bat of the year. He untied the game with a double. Darwin Barney added another run with a 2-out single. In the bottom of the 9th, Brandon Crawford booted a ball to start the inning. The next batter was hit by a pitch, bringing the winning run to the plate. Casey Fien recorded 1 out, and Carlos Martinez was brought in. He threw one pitch, inducing a 4-6-3 double play to end the game. Michael Bourn and Yadier Molina homered for the Pigs. Kendrys Morales hit another one for the Hoos.

Gm2 - Warpigs win 3-1. Adam Wainwright and Justin Verlander were locked in a 1-1 game in the 7th when the Warpigs rallied for a pair of 2-out runs. There were runners on the corners with 2 outs when Brett Lawrie hit a groundball to Dustin Pedroia (1e5). But because the runner at first was being held, the sure out turned into a go-ahead single for Lawrie. Yadier Molina then added another run with a clutch single. Strange things, indeed. The Wahoos got runners to 2nd and 3rd in the 8th with 2 outs, but Khris Davis struck out to end the threat. Wainwright gets his 19th win of the season.

Gm3 - Warpigs win 7-2. Scott Van Slyke hit a 3-run homer in the 1st, and that was all Jose Fernandez needed. The Pigs added a 4 spot in the 6th. Lawrie stayed hot with 3 hits.

Gm4 - Warpigs win 7-3. It was Stephen Strasburg's turn to shut down the Wahoo bats. Once Strasburg was gone, though, the Pigpen made the game a little too interesting. The Wahoos scored a run in the 9th and had the bases loaded. The Pigs were forced to bring in Nick Tepesch to face Pedroia. Tepesch got him to fly out to end the threat and the game. Van Slyke hit another home run and Lawrie had another 3-hit game. In the final 3 games, Lawrie went 8-13.
