Drillers 3, Warpigs 2

Netplay. All games at Driller Park.

Game 1 - Drillers win 4-1. Garrett Richards lost his perfect game in the 4th. He lost his no-hit bid in the 6th. He lost his shutout and the game in th 7th. The Pigs stranded 10 runners - which would have been more except for the 3 DPs. Conor Gillaspie was the hero, rolling what would be a night-long stretch of 3-5, double.

Game 2 - Drillers win 3-1. Dallas Kuechel started for the Drillers, but after the first 2 batters went single, double, Kuechel left the game with a blister. Luke Gregerson came on, and after walking the first batter to load the bases, recorded a strikeout and another double play grounder. It would, amazingly, be the only DP the Pigs hit into, but it was enough to pyschologically destroy any hopes of success. Gillaspie continued his destruction of the Pigs with 3 more hits.

Game 3 - Warpigs win 8-3. Adrian Beltre led off the game with a homer, and Victor Martinez hit a 3-run shot in the 5th to back the complete game effort of R.A. Dickey.

Game 4 - Drillers win 6-4. Jose Abreu homered and Gillaspie hit another frigging double. Adam Wainwright lost for only the 3rd time in 18 starts. A Warpig rally in the 7th made it interesting, but fell short when A.J. Pollock missed a potential game-tying ballpark homer (1-8) to end the inning.

Game 5 - Warpigs win 3-1. Jose Fernandez allowed just 5 singles and 2 walks while striking out 12 in the complete game victory.

Both teams scored 17 runs in the Tweener Split.
