Dodger Update 2

Last night was without a doubt the best game the Dodgers have played all year long.  It was a great experience form the start.  Because it was a Championship game, the players were announced one at a time before the game.

The game was incredible. Both teams came to play.   Our Dodgers had a 9-5 lead going into the 5th inning.  The Cardinals were not giving up and batted around to score 5 to take a 10-9 lead into the last inning.  
Top 6 :  We quickly got 2 men on base but just as quickly made 2 outs.  So with runners on 2nd and 3rd it all came down to this.  Once again Cole was up.   He worked the count to 2 balls and 12 strikes.  In dramatic fashion, he stepped out of the batters box to take a deep breath.    He lined the very next pitch to deep short 2- runs in and the Dodgers take the lead.  He came through 2 games in a row to tie and win the games.  Our little Mr. Clutch

We knocked in a few more for a 14-10 lead going into the bottom of the 6th.

The Cardinals would not go quietly.  They loaded the bases in the bottom half of the inning but our boys played solid defense to shut them down.   Final Score Dodgers 14  Cardinals 10.

We are headed to the Championship tonight!
