In the regular season the Rivercats had just under 150 home runs (about one a game for the 144 game schedule). In the last two nights they've had 8. Tonight's game was filled with all the emotions of last night. It also had a repeat of the thunder sticks (which I called a sausage). But this one went into extra innings and this time unlike the second game in Salt Lake the Cats pulled it out in 10 with a Danny Putnam home run (his second of the evening). The game might not have gone into extra innings but for a lousy call be the home plate umpire in the top of the eighth which allowed Salt Lake to tie the game up. But the Cats refused to let down (neither did the fans).
The photo is of Danny Putnam coming in after punching out his game winning home run. There were about a third less fans at this game (8000) than at Friday night's contest (12,000).
The Nashville Sounds lost tonight which means that the New Orleans Zephyrs will go to the PCL Championship. They had a one game better record than Salt Lake in the regular season and fourteen fewer wins than the team they defeated. But in the best of five series that are the divisional championships, all that is not important.
The Pacific Division series is now tied at 2-2 with the final game tomorrow at Raley Field. The winner of that game advances to New Orleans on Wednesday.
