One more game (at a time)

Last night was a disappointment. The Salt Lake Bees have been vexing all season and the first two games of the playoffs were examples of that vexation. We were 5-3 versus the Bees at home this season. In Wednesday's game the Bees won in the 10th. But last night they simply rallied better than we did. We were ahead late in the game 10-6. And earlier we were ahead 7-4, that was an exciting inning. But in the seventh they came back within one. So we added three in the eighth - they matched it and then in the ninth they added two - with a final result of 11-10. Part of our problem was errors - 5 in the game.

We return to home tonight but in a five game series we have to win all the games to stay in the playoffs. Oddly, Nashville is facing the same problem in their playoff with New Orleans. They are down 2-0 even though they had the best record in the league. Nashville had 89 wins during the regular season, we had 84, the Zephyrs had 75 and the Bees a mere 74 - but at this point that really does not count.
