Warpigs 5, FFTs 2

All games played via TeamViewer @ The Grove.

Game 1 - Warpigs win 3-2 in 11 innings. In a manner befitting this series, the winning run scored in the top of the 11th on a ground ball double play. Archie Bradley, of all people, threw 8 quality innings, matching the equally masterful pitching of Jeff Samardzija, of all people. Starlin Castro, of all people, was the only batter to get more than 1 hit. This game will not be put in a time capsule.

Game 2 - FFTs win 8-2. The FFTs pounded Carlos Rodon. Another game that left nary an impression on the restless crowd.

Game 3 - Warpigs win 11-10 in 12 innings. Hey, at least some interesting things happened this game. 21 runs, 38 hits, 4 errors... 6 homers (2 by Miguel Cabrera). The Pigs blew an 8-1 lead; then the FFTs blew a 10-8 lead. And the two key moments were the result of pitchers with bats. Adam Wainwright, who had pinch hit for the DH in the 6th inning, was still hanging around in the 8th inning. With 2 outs and nobody on, Waino hit his 3rd home run of the year to tie the game. Then, in the 12th, Ender Inciarte hit a 2-out triple with Waino due up again. This time, he was called back for Francisco Liriano, who singled in the eventual winning run. Both hits came off of the pitcher hitting cards.

Game 4 - Warpigs win 8-3. Rich Hill's last start of the year, and he struggled against his former team. Chris Carter and Logan Forsythe both homered, and Adam Wainwright went the distance for the win.

Game 5 - FFTs win 5-4. The Warpigs led 4-3 in the 7th when Hunter Pence let a fly ball to right drop, allowing the tying and go ahead run to score. It was scored a double, and it's not clear whether Pence lost the ball in the sun or if he, maybe, still has some feelings for his old team. Or hell, maybe he was coached to do that by the PigMeister, who has his eyes on a good draft pick next spring.

Game 6 - Warpigs win 8-5. Move along. There's nothing to see here.

Game 7 - Warpigs win 7-2. To appease those damn loud-mouthed parents who come to the after game DQ parties, every Pig got to play in the game. It was so out of hand, even David Peralta homered.
