DVs and Drillers hooked up in a humdinger of a 7 game series via netplay in the DV bandbox. DiamondVision had to rally and won the last 3 games by 21 runs to take the series 4-3.
Game 1 – Posey 2 run homer in the 8th sticks it to the soft DV bullpen as the Drillers rally for a 5-4 win.
Game 2 – DiamondVision can only manage 7 home runs (all solo shots) in a 9-0 win where Weaver allowed only 1 hit.
Game 3 – A typical, wild division game that saw the Drillers score 5 in the 9th to lead 11-9 (note soft DV bullpen above). Holliday opens the bottom half with a home run and the DVs put runners on first and second with no outs. Low and behold we roll a 1B X-chance with “skillet glove” Konerko poised to kick it sufficiently to allow the rally to continue. BUT WAIT – a 3-6-1 double play squelches the rally as the final DV hitter pops out and the Drillers win 11-10. Drillers had 20 hits and DVs 13 in what would not be considered a pitcher’s duel under any circumstance.
Game 4 – Drillers cling to a 1 run lead in the 7th when Hardy rolls the 1-15 BP homer chance– OHHHH 16 – damn. Kinsler now up – rolls the 1-15 BP homer – OHHHH 16 – double damn. For those of you scoring at home, the chances of rolling a 16 twice in a row is exactly one quarter of one percent. The game goes extra innings – and stop me if you have heard this before – but Jay Bruce hammers the soft underbelly the DVs call their bullpen with a 3 run shot to win 8-4 in 11.
Game 5 – DiamondVision ease up a bit and hit 6 homers in a 13-3 rout.
Game 6 – DVs score 4 in the first and coast 8-4.
Game 7 – Latos scatters 4 hits over 7 innings and we finish at about 12:15 AM with a 8-2 DV win.
