Silver Sox Sink Armada in Twelve

August 22, 2007 - Golden Baseball League (GBL)
Reno Silver Sox News Release


The Reno Silver Sox defeated the Los Angeles Armada in the longest game of the season for the Silver Sox, 12 innings, by a score of 4 - 3.

The Armada took the early lead scoring two runs in the second inning off of Silver Sox starter Nick Moran. Moran pitched an amazing game for the Silver Sox and finished one out and one homerun short of a complete game win. Moran finished the night pitching 8 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs off of 7 hits, but also struck out 10 Armada batters.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Silver Sox offense decided to give Moran a little help scoring three runs to take the lead. After Armada starter Dustin Gober loaded the bases by hitting CF Victor Hall with a pitch, 2B Maurice Cole then hit an 2 RBI single up the middle tying the game at 2 - 2 with runners at the corners and one out. Hall then scored on a fielder's choice giving the Silver Sox the lead.

The game would remain 3 - 2 all the way until the ninth inning when Moran left one pitch up over the plate allowing Armada SS Gabe Mayorga to tie the game at 3 - 3. Eric Thomas was then brought in to relieve Moran. Thomas would go one to pitch the 10 and 11 innings. Thomas finished the night allowing no runs off of zero hits, one walk, and three strikeouts before he was relieved by Joe Walentin in the 12th inning.

Walentin allowed one hit in the 12th inning, but then got a groundout and struck out the next two Armada batters.

Going into the bottom of the 12th inning things didn't start out differently, 1B Adam Amar struck out, but then DH Mike Done hit a single and then stole second all of a sudden giving the Silver Sox a runner in scoring position. Then, LF Ryan Kowalski moved Done over to third on a groundout. 3B Chuck Sindlinger was then intentionally walked after getting to a 3-0 count bringing SS Sam Walker to the plate. Walker hit a perfect single to centerfield allowing Done to score and win the game for the Silver Sox.

The Reno Silver Sox return to Peccole Park tomorrow night for the rubber match game against the Armada. To purchase your tickets for this, or any other Silver Sox game, visit the Silver Sox ticket booth before the game.
