To expand a bit on Chad's report: Two exhilarating wins propelled me back to health from the flu-filled fun I had had over the past several days and jumped After the Snow's record to 5-4. Meanwhile the Hawaiian Organ Donors dropped to 5-4.
Snow 4, Organ Donors 3 (W-Street, L-Buehrle, S_Guerrier)
As Ichiro goes, so goes After the snow. The speedy outfielder grabbed three base hits and stole two bases to help fuel the win. The game was missed opportunity after missed opportunity for both teams. A combined 15 men were left on base during the contest. Mike Napoli homered for the donors and Chone Figgins swiped three bags for the Donors.
Snow 5, Organ Donors 4 (W-Washburn, L-Hernandez, S-Street)
Ichicro again paced the way with two hits, a walk and stolen base. Dan Johnson and Jermaine Dye provided the pop with home runs and Washburn was effective giving up just seven hits and no walks in 61/3. The Organ Donors threatened in the ninth and pushed one run across before Huston Street came in to slam the door shut.
Snow 7, Organ Donors 8 (W-Gobble, L-Nunez, S-Jenks)
The Donors rallied for two runs in the top of the ninth to take - and ultimately hold - the lead. In the top of the inning, situational closer George Sherrill came in to slam the door shut. However, when DH Deric Barton flew out to left field Sherrill was forced to exit the game with an injury leaving only very poor mop-up relievers to pitch. And the Donors took advantage as a Mike Napoli 2-run triple off Alan Embree sealed the deal.
