Flurry of ninth inning errors sink Wings....Posted June 24rd, 2008
Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes are considered a part of life on Earth, and just an "act of God" to insurance companies due to the fact they can't be stopped or altered to spare destruction. Last night's ninth inning should be added to that list of "acts of God" for the destruction it caused on a small patch of ground called McDonough Park.
The Wings cruised through eight innings behind stellar pitching by Steve Forster (St. John's) as he fanned 7 over 6 innings allowing no runs and scattered 5 hits. Charly Bashara (Northeatern) and Aaron Brett (Central Missouri) took care of the seventh and eighth as Brett struck out the side in the eighth. Then the earth moved, the funnel cloud appeared, and the flood gates opened, all that was missing were the locusts. The Wings went into the last frame up 4-1 after scoring 2 in the bottom of the eighth, and no one could fore see the destruction ahead. To make a long story short; the Power would send 16 batters to the plate in the top of the ninth, eleven would score, six errors would be made, three outs would take 42 minutes, and the terrific game that could have been was completely erased by a 12-4 Power victory.
One game a season does not make and the Wings know they need to put that three out stretch behind them, therefore the boys will get back on the bus today and face the Hornell Dodgers in Hornell. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00. I think the boys will be ready to take out some frustrations on the boys in blue. Listen to the game live on TeamLine!
