Cards have runners on 2nd (Schu) and 3rd (Ryan) w/ 1 down and Albert coming up....who is walked intentionally....Ankiel stepping in w/ the bases loaded....fouls out to Fielder in foul territory by the dugout....up to Ludwick....

Ludwick delivers a sharp single off Gagne to LF scoring both Ryan and Schu to give the Cards a 5-3 lead!!!!!....still 2 runners on with 2 down here in the top of the 9th....

Kennedy lines out to 3rd to end the 9th for the Cards....

I would assume Franklin will be on to close?

Cards lead 5-3....

tulcard · 05-10-2008, 06:43 PM

Franklin is inded on to close....Izturis is in at 3rd....

tulcard · 05-10-2008, 06:50 PM

Franklin does the job....retires the first two....runner on 2nd (double) w/ Fielder stepping in....who grounds out 4-1 to end the game....nice to get a save....

Cards win 5-3....

We have tornados all around this State with a number of them sighted....will we have an Ewt sighting here as well?....

After doing his best Izzy impression, Franklin gets Fielder to win it 5-3.
Why isn't Ludwick the every day RFer? All he does is drive in game winning runs.
Joel deserved a win but it's great to break the losing streak and hold on to 1st place.
Back with the recap in a few minutes.

Tully.
We've got it now for the rest of the night.
The local weather watch for all SE Ark, N. Miss. and all W. Tenn. interrupted my baseball telecast for tornado watch, too.

Be safe Coop....the storms have passed my area for the time being, but others could form here later....love this time of year....kind of exciting so long as no one gets injured or worse....

Once again, it was a team win. The Cards had 12 hits and every position player had at least 1. Brendan had 3 with a double and Schu had 2 singles. Duncan had a 2 run HR. The rst each had a single. Miles, Albert, Ankiel, Kennedy, Yadi and, most importantly- Ludwick. His 2 out clutch base hit plated 2 to win the game.
Pineiro was great. Don't go by his pitching line. McClellan walked in 2 of his inherited runners. Joel's line reads 6 1/3 innings pitched giving up 2 runs on 4 hits with 3 BBs and 4 Ks. McClellan got his 12th hold but read the above. He went 2/3 of an inning giving up 2 BBs. Villone got his 1st blown save. He gave up a HR to Fielder and that was the only batter he faced. Springer got the win. He's 1-0. He went 1 inning giving up 1 hit and 2 BBs. Franklin got his 2nd save. He went 1 inning giving up a double to Braun.
So far today, Chi beat Ariz 7-2 and Cinc lost to the NYM 12-6. Houston and Pitts play later tonight.
That's it for now. Tomorrow afternoon, it will be Loop vs. Soup.
See ya later.
