Pool E, Round 7
LA Dodgers- 9, Milwaukee- 7 (15 innings) -- This never ending game saw both teams use 7 pitchers, and out of necessity have to use guys much longer than anticipated, pretty much depleting both teams bullpens' for their next game. Chin-lung Hu led the way for the Dodgers with 4 RBIs, as LA scored 4 runs in the top of the 15th to get the win.
Baltimore- 9, Arizona- 4 -- Baltimore erupted for 7 runs in the bottom of the 8th, as the D-Backs bullpen couldn't get anybody out. Both starting pitchers pitched into the 8th, and a great start by Arizonas Brandon Webb was wasted.
Philadelphia- 5, Atlanta- 4 (12 innings) -- Yet another extra inning game, as the Braves jumped out to a 4-1 lead after 5. The Phillies battled back, scoring 3 in the 8th, then in the bottom of the 12th, a Ryan Howard walk was followed by a Pat Burrell triple to walk off. Amazingly, the Phillies have a 3 game lead in their pool with 3 to play, so the next Philadelphia win clinches the pool for them.
