DVs 3, Buckeyes 2

DVs and Buckeyes hooked up for a 5 game set at the DV dome that saw all but one game stay close while having multiple swings and lead changes.

 

Game 1 – Cuddyer smacks a 2 run homer in the 8^th off Ryan (also known as Aaron) Cook to spur a 4-3 Buckeye win. DVs miss back to back BP 1-15 game winning home run chances in the bottom of the 9^th as Michael Saunders and Aramis Ramirez whimper helplessly in the fetal position while being pelted with sunflower seeds thrown by mocking fans.

 

Game 2 – Yonder Alonso returns the favor with a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 8^th to spur a 5-3 DV win.

 

Game 3 – RA Dickey coasts with a solid outing as the Buckeyes roll to a 6-2 win

 

Game 4 – DVs get out to a comfortable 6-1 lead, then turn it over to the bullpen (with Cook giving up 2 homers in an inning) that almost coughs up the game as they cling to a 7-5 win.

 

Game 5 – Paul Maholm spins a gem, lowering his ERA to 8.01 ( he allowed 5 runs over 7 innings) and moving his record to 3-1 as the DVs come back from a 5 run deficit to win 8-5. The aforementioned Cook gets dog cussed before the game and rises to the occasion- recording all 6 of his outs via strikeout.
