"Back-to-Back Home Runs in the 9th aren't enough to give Tigers the victory!!!"
Offense was in an abundance today as both teams combined for 13 runs. The run scoring started right away with a run scoring single by Craig Monroe in the top of the first. The Orioles came back in the 3rd with RBI single and a 2 RBI single. Then the Orioles bats came alive. They scored one run in 4th and 2 runs in the 5th. On the last play off the bottom of the 5th all the fans at Camden Yards were silent. There laying on the the dirt next to second base layed Chris Gomez unconscious.He was kicked in the head while trying to take out the shortstop with a slide. Thankfully, the smelling salt brought him to and we was taken off the field. The doctor diagnosed him with a concussion and will be out for 47 or more days. In the bottom of the 7th Melvin Mora hit a three run homer to give the Orioles a 9-1 lead. The Tigers were not going to give up. The lead off man got on first and started the Tigers attempt at a combeack. The next man flied out bringing up Carlos Pena. He hit a two nrun home run over the right center field wall. Vance Wilson then stepped in. With an 0-1 count he hit one over the right center field wall. The Orioles lead was shrunken to 5 runs. Luckilly, the next 2 outs were made and the Orioles got the sweep.
