Live blogging the first playoff game


I thought I would liveblog the first playoff game for the Rivercats. I started out and then watched a long game unfold and decided to give it a recap instead. This game was not ideal. 33 hits, 23 runs and the Cats lost by three. Salt Lake scored in the 1st (2), 3rd (5), 5th (5), and the 6th (1). We scored in the 2d (3), 4th (1),5th (3), 6th (2) and 8th (1) - we had plenty of chances to win but our pitching was sloppy. Salt Lake's fielding was something less than spectacular. Their first baseman had a very rough night. The game went on for almost four hours. Both teams left 10 on base and we left 7 in scoring position with 2 out while they left while we left but 4. Conrad and Baisley both had round trippers - but in the end we just could not get it together.

For us to win the series we would now have to win 2 in Salt Lake. We've done pretty well this season but if the last few games are any indication of how we will play tomorrow - I am not sure we can put it together. Well, the best I can hope for is the Scarlett O'Hara response from the club - tomorrow is another day.
