I am not much of a baseball fan, as it is overpriced and boring, but something incredible happened on July 30th, Friday night at Coors Field. I think a verbal description expresses it more than watching a video clip would.
It was the bottom of the 8th, and the Rockies were leading 5-2.
Sean Marshall replaces Justin Berg as pitcher for the Cubs.
1. Clint Barmes doubles.
2. Melvin Mora singles, Barmes to third.
3. Dexter Fowler strikes out.
4. Ryan Spilborghs strikes out. There are two outs.
5. Carlos Gonzalez singles to right, Barmes scores, Mora to second.
6. Troy Tulowitzki doubles, Mora scores, Gonzalez to third.
7. Brad Hawpe doubles, Gonzalez scores, Tulowitzki scores.
8. Andrew Cashner relieves Marshall. Chris Iannetta triples, Hawpe scores.
9. Ian Stewart homers, Iannetta scores, Stewart scores.
10. Clint Barmes singles.
11. Mora doubles, Barmes scores.
12. Fowler homers, Mora scores, Fowler scores.
13. Spillborghs singles.
14. Brian Schlittler relieves Cashner. Gonzalez singles, Spilborghs to second.
15. Tulowitzki doubles, Spilborghs scores, Gonzalez scores.
16. Hawpe walks.
17. Inannetta walks, Tulowitzki to third, Hawpe to second. Bases are loaded.
18. Stewart finally flied out.
The score was now 17-2. The Rockies get 13 hits, including 11 straight hits and score 12 runs. Every single player was at-bat twice, and each player scored at least once. Gonzalez, Tulowitzki, Mora and Barmes had two hits apiece. Fantastic!
