This one belongs to the Reds
Today the Reds won. It came as a shock to many, especialy me. I was at the game, but left early due to rain, and cold. However it would have been worth it to stay. It was all tied up at 1 going into the 10th inning. Edwin Encarnacion makes an error, as usual, to load up the bases. Then the brewers get a double to score 2 more and make it 3-1. Luckily in an amazing bottom of the tenth, edwin got his second homer of the day. Also homering was catcher Paul Bako, who coinencidently, homered right after Edwin. This tied it up. Pinch hitter Scott Hatteberg got on with a single, and Ryan Freel came in as a pinch runner. After an ify at bat, Brandon Phillips got on with a spectacular infield hit. Then, our heor, Ken Griffey Jr. stepped up to the plate. The first few pitched were fouled or strikes. Then, he managed a hit that went all the way to the wall, this enabled Freel to make it hoem from second, and score the winning run. The Reds needed this victory, it kept them from being swept, and it also kept them out of hte bottom of the divison. I just hope the Reds manage to win again tomorrow and Tuesday against the Dodgers. If they do, that will give them a shot at hte top of the divison, which is the ideal spot to be in. However, with Jor Torre at the helm, the Dodgers will be a hard team to beat. I doubt any harder than the Brewers though. Lets just take it one game at a time, and hope forthe best each time. GO Reds!
