Warpigs vs SuperGoofs

Goofs 5, Pigs 3

We played all 7 of the Pig home games and 1 of the Goofs' in order to get to 50 under the deadline. The Goofs pounded the ball, hitting 21 homers in 8 games. Oddly, all of them were on either 4-11, 4-12, 4-2, or 6-2.

Game 1 - Goofs win 4-1. Greg Zaun hit 2-run homers in the 2nd and 3rd inning. Only a Adam Lind solo shot in the 9th kept this from being a shutout.

Game 2 - Pigs win 9-8. The Pigs jumped out to leads of 8-0 and 9-1, and then watched and laughed as the PigPen tried to get outs. Funny stuff. The game ended when the potential tying run was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

Game 3 - Pigs win 8-4. An 8-run 3rd inning against Barry Zito was enough. Cliff Lee went the distance.

Game 4 - Goofs win 18-1. In what might have been the most perfect game in the glorious history of the Goofs, only two things marred the scorebook. The Pigs scratched across a run in the bottom of the 9th again to avoid the whitewashing, but the big story was former UTA star Hunter Pence. In the top of the 9th, Pence choked on a 1-16 homer chance, settling for the triple. The shame is, that would have been Pence's 4th home run of the game. He ended up 4/5 with 7 RBI and 15 total bases. Josh Beckett scattered 17 hits and 14 runs in his 7 innings of work.

Game 5 - Goofs win 9-3. The following is a list of all the interesting things that happened in this game:

Game 6 - Pigs win 8-6 in 11 innings. This game, on the other hand was kinda fun. Barry Zito, fresh from getting blasted by the Pig bats earlier, took a no-hitter into the 8th before Delmon Young squirted a single up the middle. Geovanny Soto, then pinch hit in an at bat saving move, and launched his first homer of the season to make the game 3-2. Mike Adams came in to calm things down, but he was pulled in the 9th for Jonathan Broxton. Broxton blew the save when Albert Pujols scored from 1st on a double by Oscar Salazar (1-9 at home). By this time, the PigPen (such as it is) was out of pitchers, so naturally the Goofs scored 3 in the top of the 10th. But the Pig offense wasn't finished, and matched the Goofs with 3 runs of their own. The game ended in the 11th when Cody Ross hit a 2-run homer off of Kyle McClellan.

Game 7 - Goofs win 12-1. The angry Goofs retaliated with a 6-run first and cruised to the win. Adam Lind homered for the Pigs.

Game 8 - Goofs win 6-3. In the "Get To 50!" game, the clubs moved to GoofyVille, and the Goofs stay hot to win the game.
