The scoring opened in the 2nd inning when the OL lead off w three straight singles and a ground out to score 2 runs. Amidst that, the OL attempted a suicide squeeze which Sterling Marte missed and caused JT Realmuto to get tagged out at home. The EL cut the lead in half in the bottom of the 2nd on a Giancarlo Stanton solo HR off OL starter Chris Sale. Max Scherzer came in to pitch the top of the 3rd for the EL and got 2 of the first 3 batters but then loaded the bases and brought David Peralta to the plate. Peralta hit a liner over the head of first baseman Cody Bellinger and everyone was off to the races. Peralta wound up on 3rd with a bases clearing triple giving the OL a 4-1 lead. With Aaron Nola pitching for OL, Max Muncy PH for the pitcher's spot and tripled to lead off the bottom of the 3rd. Escobar singled him home to cut the lead to 5-2. The teams exchanged zeros until the bottom of the 8th. JA Happ pitching for the OL against 2 lefties to start off the inning. Home town hero Juan Soto immediately homered to cut the lead to 5-3. Fellow lefty Cody Bellinger followed with a single but the EL couldn't put any more runs on the board. After Jose Leclerc pitched a scoreless 9th, OL manager brought in Seranthony Dominguez to pick up the save. He got the first two outs and then the hometown Mustangs took over. Alex Bregman hit a solo HR to make it 5-4. After a Trout single and JD Martinez walk, Dominguez was lifted for Collin McHugh. The Mustangs' Juan Soto then got his 2nd hit of the game with a single into RF, scoring Trout and tying the game. On to extra innings. Trevor Bauer, who was being saved specifically for extra innings, walked Jose Ramirez to lead off the 10th but retired the next 3 including Ks of Acuna and Arenado. With McHugh still pitching, the EL lead off the bottom of the 10th with a groundball single from Grandal. Jose Altuve then put down a beautiful sacrifice bunt, moving Grandal to 2nd. Whit Merrifield then flied out to right. Wanting to go home as soon as possible and generally tired of his honorary return to the BDBL, EL third base coach Tom Distefano :emperor: decided to send Pr running Yasmani Grandal to third on the flyout. RF Ronald Acuna Jr, licking his chops at the prospect of nailing Grandal by 15 feet at third, airmailed the throw into the stands allowing Grandal to score the winning run. Eck League with a come from behind win by the score of 6-5. Co-MVPs, Charlotte Mustangs Alex Bregman and Juan Soto excited the hometown crowd by combining to go 4 for 5 with a 2B, 2 HRs and 3 RBI. 6/15/2019, OL19-EL19, Charlotte Downs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 R H E LOB DP 2019 OL Stars 0 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 8 2 5 1 2019 EL Stars 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 2 1 6 12 1 10 0 OL Stars AB R H BI AVG EL Stars AB R H BI AVG Ramirez,Jose 2b 4 0 0 0 .000 Escobar,E ss 5 0 1 1 .200 Yelich rf 2 1 1 0 .500 Machado,M 3b 2 0 1 0 .500 Acuna ph 2 0 0 0 .000 Bregman 3b 3 1 2 1 .667 Arenado 3b 5 0 0 0 .000 Trout cf 5 1 2 0 .400 Goldschmidt 1b 2 1 1 0 .500 Harper rf 2 0 0 0 .000 Cole,G p 0 0 0 0 .000 Martinez,JD rf 2 0 0 0 .000 Betts ph 3 0 1 0 .333 Stanton lf 1 1 1 1 1.000 Realmuto c 3 1 1 0 .333 Soto lf 2 1 2 2 1.000 Peralta,D lf 4 1 2 3 .500 Bellinger 1b 4 0 1 0 .250 Marte,S cf 2 1 1 1 .500 Bauer p 0 0 0 0 .000 Ohtani p 1 0 0 0 .000 Grandal c 4 1 1 0 .250 Clevinger p 0 0 0 0 .000 Lowrie 2b 2 0 0 0 .000 Happ,JA p 0 0 0 0 .000 Altuve 2b 2 0 0 0 .000 Davis,K ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Kluber p 0 0 0 0 .000 Dominguez p 0 0 0 0 .000 Scherzer p 0 0 0 0 .000 McHugh p 0 0 0 0 .000 Muncy ph 1 1 1 0 1.000 Simmons ss 3 0 0 1 .000 Snell p 0 0 0 0 .000 Lindor ph 1 0 1 0 1.000 Haniger ph 0 0 0 0 .000 Sale p 1 0 0 0 .000 deGrom p 0 0 0 0 .000 Nola p 0 0 0 0 .000 Giles p 0 0 0 0 .000 Freeman,F ph 3 0 0 0 .000 Suarez,E ph 1 0 0 0 .000 37 5 8 5 Green p 0 0 0 0 .000 Hughes,J p 0 0 0 0 .000 Leclerc p 0 0 0 0 .000 Merrifield ph 2 0 0 0 .000 38 6 12 5 OL Stars INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Sale 2.0 2 1 1 1 1 34 21 4.50 Nola 1.0 3 1 1 0 0 13 8 9.00 Cole,G H 1.0 1 0 0 2 1 26 12 0.00 Ohtani H 1.0 1 0 0 2 1 26 11 0.00 Clevinger H 2.0 0 0 0 0 2 28 18 0.00 Happ,JA H 1.0 1 1 1 0 1 17 9 9.00 Dominguez H 0.2 2 2 2 1 0 18 9 27.00 McHugh BS , L 1.0 2 1 0 0 1 18 12 0.00 9.2 12 6 5 6 7 180 100 EL Stars INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Kluber 2.0 4 2 1 0 1 31 21 4.50 Scherzer 1.0 2 3 3 2 0 28 14 27.00 Snell 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 12 7 0.00 deGrom 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 10 7 0.00 Giles 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 11 9 0.00 Green 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 10 5 0.00 Hughes,J 1.0 1 0 0 0 1 19 9 0.00 Leclerc 1.0 1 0 0 0 2 13 11 0.00 Bauer W 1.0 0 0 0 1 2 18 9 0.00 10.0 8 5 4 3 7 152 92 OL : Freeman,F batted for Nola in the 4th Freeman,F moved to 1b in the 4th Betts batted for Cole,G in the 5th Betts moved to cf in the 5th Acuna batted for Yelich in the 8th Acuna moved to rf in the 8th Davis,K batted for Happ,JA in the 9th Lindor batted for Simmons in the 9th Lindor moved to ss in the 9th EL : Muncy batted for Scherzer in the 3rd Haniger batted for Snell in the 4th Bregman inserted at 3b in the 5th Martinez,JD inserted at rf in the 5th Soto inserted at lf in the 5th Altuve inserted at 2b in the 5th Suarez,E batted for Giles in the 6th Merrifield batted for Leclerc in the 9th Merrifield moved to 1b in the 10th E-Ramirez,Jose, Acuna, Harper. 2B-Bellinger(1), Bregman(1). 3B-Peralta,D(1), Lindor(1), Muncy(1).
