Well... Netplay sucks. But we all knew that. I bet we had to reconnect maybe 20 times. It still beats playing against a CM.
Wonder of wonders, miracles of miracles... the Warpigs took 6 of 10 from the Tweeners. The rundown...
Gm1- Warpigs win 3-1. Jeremy Hellickson endured the indignities thrown at him from the Tweener dugout and then proceeded to shut them down. A pinch hit homer by Brett Lawrie in the bottom of the 8th broke the 1-1 tie.
Gm2- Tweeners win 7-3. This was more like what we have come to expect. Gio Gonzalez got the win.
Gm3- Warpigs win 6-4. The Merry Mentor of Mediocrity was kind enough to schedule an off day between games 2 and 3, allowing the Tweeners to enjoy the ambience that is Hooterville. Daniel Hudson appears to have enjoyed the festivities the most, as he was scored on in each of the first 4 innings. The Tweeners hit 3 homers, but couldn't overcome the early deficit.
Gm4- Tweeners win 13-2. Back in Logan County for games 4 & 5, the Tweeners treated the home crowd - at least 4000 strong - to an offensive onslaught. The Tweeners scored 8 runs in the first off of Hellickson and led 11-0 after 3.
Gm5- Warpigs win 9-3. Cameron Maybin stole 4 bases. Jordan Zimmermann wasn't sharp, but went the distance for the win.
Gm6- Tweeners win 6-2. A 5-run 1st spelled doom for Mike Minor. Daniel Hudson got the road victory.
Gm7- Tweeners win 9-4. A clutch single by Victor Martinez in the 6th inning got the Tweeners within 2-1, but more importantly tired Hellickson. The Tweeners then put up an 8-spot in the 7th and cruised to victory.
Gm8- Warpigs win 6-4. David Freese hit a 3-run HR in a 4-run 1st inning for the Pigs. Mark Melancon got the final out of the game, saving it for Jake Westbrook.
Gm9- Warpigs win 7-0. Jordan Zimmermann went the distance, scattering 8 hits in the shutout win.
Gm10- Warpigs win 10-2. Leading 2-0 in the bottom of the 5th, Pig hurler Erik Bedard reached his POW with 2 outs and the bases loaded. Derek Jeter was at the plate. Bedard was allowed to face Jeter and got him to pop up. The Pigs then erupted for 4 runs in the top of the 6th, and the Pigs had a 3-game sweep in Logan County.
The unlikely hitting stars for the Pigs were David Freese (12/24, 3 HR, 9 RBI), Cameron Maybin (13/31, a HR, 8 SB), and Hanley Ramirez (10/30, 3 HR).
Michael Morse led the Tweeners, going 13/39 with 2 homers.
