Exceptional games

After Saturday's Cats game, which became the longest duration contest in Cats history, the team came back less than twelve hours later and defeated the Redbirds again in a close contest that became a fun game.  They walloped the Redbirds 11-2.

But then the New Orleans Zephyrs came to town last night.  Lennie DiNardo came back to the team and pitched one and a third inning and established what may be a new record ERA of over 40.  The Zephyrs scored 9 in the second and 5 in the third and won the game 14-1.   DiNardo had a rough night but I am glad to see him back in Sacramento.

One of our seatmates came up with the 9:30 rule that fans can leave if the team is down by more than 10 at 9:30.  

There are a couple of comments worth making about this game.  First, after DiNardo and Bateman the other four pitchers got in a credible performance.  Second, the mercifully game was brief - 2:36.

As exceptional games go I liked the ones on the weekend better than this one.
