Rhinos 4, Warpigs 1

Games played via TeamViewer. All were home games for the Rhinos.

Game 1 - Rhinos win 5-0. Gerritt Cole with the complete game 5-hitter.

Game 2 - Rhinos win 11-2. Trevor Story had 3 hits, including a double and a homer. Aaron Nola went the distance.

Game 3 - Rhinos win 6-5. This one hurt. The Pigs led 5-2 going to the bottom of the 9th. Here's what happened next:

  1. RF-x (rf-3e0) - double
  2. SS-x (ss-3e29) - single, runners on the corners
  3. Walk on the pitcher's card. Bases loaded
  4. Walk on the pitcher's card (same roll). Run scores, bases still loaded.
  5. Single on the pitcher's card (only hit in that column). 2 runs score, game tied. Corners
  6. Single on the pitcher's card (Single 1-3, lineout). Game over.
A rarity in the box score: Raisel Iglesias received credit for a Hold, but was also tagged with the Loss. He came into a save situation, and when he left, we still had the lead (hence, the hold). His successor on the mound allowed his runners to score, however, giving him the loss.

Game 4 - Warpigs win 5-2. Anthony Desclafani allowed 1 run in 6 innings for the win. Raisel Iglesias earned the save. Three interesting tidbits about this game... First, the Pigs tied a team-record with 8 bases. Also, the game ended on a runner trying to tag from 2nd on a fly ball. I half expected a cuckoo clock to go off. And the third thing is, Raisel Iglesias went 2/3 of an inning to earn the save, but in the "Batters faced" column, it has zero. He came on with runners at 2nd & 3rd and 1 out. The batter hit a SF, with the trail runner getting nailed at 3rd. Very odd.

Game 5 - Rhinos win 9-4. Story and Kemp homered.
