"We battled," Russell said. "This team never really gives up, but we don't have that high-potency offence to be able to overcome seven runs. But give them credit: We did scratch out three runs in the last two innings. We just need to try and get those early."
Today they didn't need seven runs to beat the Chiefs as they came from behind to score a 4-2 win (boxscore, play-by-play), capped off by Brennan King's walk-off homer in the ninth. A couple of things
which won't show up on the score sheet were Carlos Leon's fine defensive play at second in the seventh inning which prevented a second run from scoring and Gary Burnham's hustle down the first baseline in the bottom of the eighth which "hurried" Russ Adams into committing an error. Joe Thurston, pinch running for Gary would eventually come around to score the tieing run on a wild pitch from Scott Sauerback.
Fabio Castro (4-4, 2.91 ERA) had a superb outing, going six innings, striking out six and walking one. Mark Redman (0-0, 1.74 ERA) probably deserved better; he too went a solid six innings, striking out three and also walking just one.
All eyes are on the skies now, as A.J. Burnett's scheduled start looms tomorrow at 1.05. Nice to see the Lynx getting some national media attention with TSN reporting the news of his impending rehab start here in Ottawa.

Hmm.. except nowhere is there actual mention of a AAA team in Ottawa named the Lynx.
Oh well..
Hadn't noticed that, but I'm not terribly concerned. Wait till the game reports and video show up post game.
