Bottom of 9
Carpenter – Was in the Mariana Trench 1-2, yet Carp somehow submerges to induce the free pass. And that will send Mr. Wheeler straight to the showers….so happy to see this guy exit!
Enter one, Hector Neris, a rather burly chap.
Edman – Lines a scorching one hopper off Maton’s glove at 2nd and out into center field for a hit…..with Carp motoring around to 3rd and we are in business here in the 9th.
Carlson – Rolls it slowly out to 2nd and Maton’s only play will be at 1st as Carpenter scores and Edman taking up new residence at 2nd. Only down a run with just 1 out.
Goldy – Count was 3-0 but then goes to 3-2 where the 3rd baseman Bohm totally misjudges a foul ball over near the Phils dugout, but then somehow someway rights the ship and makes an acrobatic play in catching the ball.
Arenado – Blasts a long one to center!….Herrera back to the wall and has it right at the base of the wall and that’s your ballgame.
