What a Husky Comeback!!! Albino Rhino with amazing base-running in the 10th inning, Broadhurst, Smitty, Morton bats on fire and the pitchers were all on point… i believe the big C arrived in Caly ready to play! Great job men……

That's a nice win, can be pretty demoralizing to tie the game and then keep giving the lead back. Nice to see the offense not quit

Wow, amazing to wake up this morning and see that they pulled that game out. Way to hang in there dbmill. I'll be even more impressed if you make it through the games in Hawaii.

[dbmill]

Yes indeed, a weird game.

I'll be impressed (and tired) if I make it through the games in Hawaii. We'll see what happens, three 11:30 pm starts in four days is something of a challenge.

Freeberger is stranded at first as the strikeout bug continues to be an issue.
