Cards and Dice. All games played at the BallPork.
Game 1 - Warpigs win 2-1. With the help of a couple of timely double plays, Wily Peralta (6-13) goes 7 strong innings for the win. Casey Fien recorded his 9th save. Melky Cabrera went 3-3 and drove in both Pig runs.
Game 2 - Wahoos win 2-1 in 13 innings. Dustin Pedroia doubled home the winning run off of Tyler Lyons (0-2). Stephen Strasburg and Dillon Gee both ended up with no decisions after strong outings. Strasburg allowed only 2 hits in 9 innings, but one of them was a leadoff triple by Ian Desmond in the 5th.
Game 3 - Wahoos win 2-1 in 10 innings. Third straight 2-1 game between these two offensive juggernauts. Michael Bourn homered to lead off the bottom of the 1st, but the Pigs never came close to scoring again. Jose Fernandez, like Strasburg last game, allowed only 2 hits in 9 innings but didn't get a decision. Jordan Zimmermann pitched even better for the Wahoos, but also came away empty handed. The winning run scored on a ballpark homer (HR1-4) by Desmond off of Tommy Milone, who falls to 1-7. For those of you scoring at home, the Warpigs are now 0-10 in extra inning games.
Game 4 - Warpigs win 9-2. This game was 1-0 in the 5th and looked exactly like the first three games. But Bourn hit a 2-run homer in the 5th, and then the Pigs exploded for 6 runs in the 7th, capped off by a pinch hit grand slam by Austin Jackson. Adam Wainwright (12-4) was the beneficiary of the unusual run support. He struck out 11 in 6.2 innings. Michael Wacha got him out of a jam in the 7th when the score was still 3-2, and then hung around for his 7th save of the year.

After a little research, it turns out we are actually 1-12 in extra inning games this year. We somehow won a 3-2, 11 game against the Drillers.
