LYNX: WHAT A RUSH

Right-fielder Jim Rushford throwing out Indy's Einar Diaz trying to score on a sac fly in the second inning when the Lynx were already trailing by four runs seems like the hidden play in the eventual 7-6 comeback victory (boxscore, play-by-play).

None of the 10,404 Indianapolis fans probably made too much of it, since the home side had already had a big inning vs. Ottawa's Zach Segovia (six runs, all earned on 12 hits over six-plus innings). Still, Rushford coming up with a big throw -- it's not for nothing that he came into pro baseball as a left-handed pitcher -- to save one run (at least) did make it easier for the Lynx to rally later vs. the IL West leaders.

Segovia also helped save himself a loss with his batting -- he drew the leadoff walk in the five-run sixth inning that was capped by a two-out, two-run single from (you guessed it) Jim Rushford, who was on base all four times up last night. Strange how it comes together for teams who make little plays to help themselves, even when it doesn't seem too important.
