KOD16 Cards & Giants

9/17  Ankiel @ Willoughby

 

The Giants jump on Ankiel early and often and enjoy 14 hits and a nice 10 - 2 lead into the 9th. Can you say blowout? Nah! Cards bang out 7 hits and 7 runs in the 9th and come up 1 run short of the comeback. Willoughby moves to 4 - 0 and G Perry is headed to therapy along with Ankiel.

9/18  L Jackson @ J Barr

 

The Giants peck away with a run in 4 of the first six innings and lead 4 - 0 into the 7th. J Barr with his first start of the season was solid and got through a rough 7th where 3 scored and now we have us a one run game. Romo and Wilhelm would provide the one,two punch and end this game 4 - 3 Giants. T Whitfield was 2/4 1HR.

9/19 Montefusco @ Carlton

 

The Cards were fired up to be home and knocked around the Giants ace scoring 5 through 4 innings and took a solid 5-0 lead into the 8th. Jay, Pujols & Duncan with multiple hits to lead the offense. The Giants put a slight scare in the crowd with 3 in the 8th but run out of gas and into Boyer & Worrell who close the door. S Carlton was

dealing going 7 strong and allowing just 2 runs.

9/20 R Herbel @ Hughes

 

Giants pitching came to play today and got the job done with Herbal going 5 1R and Hickerson, Linzy and Romo putting up blanks and the Giants win the series 3 of 4.. B Posey was 3/4 with his 5th HR on the season.
