Game #5 vs Diamondbacks (7-5, 5-0)

Posted by Matt Goodell on Mar 30 2009 at 05:00PM PDT

Wow …. I think I need a cold one …. cold juice box of course!  Forget nail biter, more like defibrillator!  With just enough offense and some great defensive stops we were able to pull this close one out.

Offensively we had to scratch, bite, crawl, and whatever it took ... but in the end it was veterans Blake and Tyler leading the team in hits 3-3.  Cameron A flexed his muscles taking one deep down the left field line for a Driple (not mispelled, you can figure it out!) 

The D-Backs sprayed the ball all over the field giving everyone chances to make defensive plays … and the Giants came through by getting 13 put outs!  Fisher’s solid play at Pitcher throwing outs to 1st and 3rd .. (and even one that he used his legs to beat the runner) …Tyler’s line drive snag at 1st early in the game like a frog catching a bug in mid-air (booyah!) ... but none was bigger than Anthony’s pop fly catch in CF ... big Dback hit, but even BIGGER CATCH taking away their momentum and sending it our way.

However, today we decided the game ball goes to a pivotal moment in the game .... it was a two-out situation with the game tied 2-2 in the 4th inning and runners at 2nd and 3rd ... our man Mr. Nick O’Brien steps up to the plate and takes the count full (to be dramatic of course) ... he takes a practice swing ... stares down the pitcher ... and with his last chance final 6th pitch he takes a monster hack and the ball jumps off the bat screaming up the middle for a 2 RBI knock ... BANG!  Pressure?  Nah, not for this kid ... excellent job Nick.

And how fitting we received our Train Pins tonight ... let’s keep this one ROLLING!!
