Dice and cards in Lexington, Kentucky, home of John Calipari, the Tweaker himself. Too much action to give details of every game, so here are the scores, plus a few highlights.
Tweakers start out by sweeping a 3-game set at home by scores of 2-1, 3-2 (15 innings), and 8-7 (12 innings). The win streak goes to 4 on the road as Gio tosses a 5-hit shutout in a 6-0 win, game 1 of a doubleheader. Snakes then get hot and win 6 in a row, taking the nightcap 3-1, then 2 more at home by scores of 3-2 (10 innings) and 4-3 (11 innings). Back to the Hooverdome, Tweakers suffer consecutive shutouts 1-0 and 6-0, then one more loss (7-3) before finding the right supporting cast for the Mud Die. The final game at home goes to the Tweakers 7-6, then we take our brooms to Stanley and win 5-4, 8-4, and 7-2.
All told, we win 4 and lose 3 both home and road. Snakes actually outscore us 30-23 and out-homer us 7-4 at the Hooverdome, but we find the short porch to our liking at the Church Lot where we outscore the Snakes 32-20 and out-homer them 13-4. Late inning homers by sluggers Marco Scutaro and David Lough were key in 2 victories (the Scrotumo blow was actually a walk-off job in the 15 inning game). And that’s how the cow ate the cabbage.
