Tweeners 3, DVs 2

4/7 – DVs 5, Tweeners 2.  Maholm over Gio, Tweeners never threatened.

4/8 – Tweeners 4, DVs 3.  Tweeners brought 3 runs across the plate in the 4th inning with the help of 3 hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Mark Reynolds who brought the crowd to their feet when he lofted a three-run bomb.  Sergio Romo was perfect in the ninth giving him his 30th save on the season.  Madison Bumgarner(16-9) got credit for the victory, pitching 5 and 2/3 innings and allowing 3 runs. The losing pitcher was Roy Halladay(0-5).  Despite taking the loss, he whiffed 11 batters in 8 innings.

6/29 – Tweeners 4, DVs 3 (10 inn.).  Chris Tillman was dominant, but due to dwindling innings was removed in the 7th with a 2-0 lead.  Casilla and Wright kept the shutout intact, Tweeners added another insurance run, and Romo came in for the save, but DVs refused to concede.  A 2-run homer by Ramirez, a single by Craig, Romo is tired; pinch-runner Kinsler steals 2nd, a dot hit by Hardy forces extra innings.  Bottom of the 10th, LaRoche doubles  off Jake McGee, pinch-hitter Gio Gonzalez bunts him to 3rd, and Eggs Ackley drives him in as Tweeners avoid the disaster.

6/30 – DVs 12, Tweeners 4.  This was like one of those softball games that the DVs host.  MadBum gives up 5 runs before recording an out.  18 hits for the visitors, including 5 by Stanton and 4 by Craig.  We pinch hit for our last catcher in the 9th inning, but fortunately did not achieve the 8 run rally that would have resulted in the embarrassing forfeit.

7/1 – Tweeners 3, DVs 2.  Shades of June 29th.  Gio was strong through 6, pulled due to dwindling innings with a 2-0 lead.  DVs score a run off Casilla, so this time Romo had no margin for error.  Stanton hammered the first pitch in the 9th to tie it.  2 more hits by Trumbo and Ramirez, pinch-runner Cabrera, Romo tired, double steal – but this time we yanked him before they could find his dot, and Steve Johnson put out the fire.  Extra innings were not necessary, Tweeners win in the bottom of the 9th with a Panda double, Shane bunted (and beat it out), one out later it was Zobrist with the walk-off single.
