MILKMEN UDDER FAVORITE WORDS: MILKMEN WIN!

It’s been a very long time before we were able to say that we beat the Railcats!  However, on Saturday in Gary, IN, the Milkmen defeated the Railcats 6-4 in a very exciting ball game.  Kurt Heyer led the way in pitching 7.1 innings giving up only 1 earned run.  Heyer scattered 8 hits and his defense played very well behind him.

The Milkmen jumped off to a 3-1 lead after one inning followed by 5 innings of zero runs for both teams.  The score stayed 3-1 until the 7^th inning when Manny Boscan drove a ball out of sight, but not out of the park and drove in three runs giving the Milkmen a 6-1 lead after seven.  Although Heyer was pitching well, the Railcats started off a rally of their own in the 8^th inning.  Colin Willis tripled in three runs making the score 6-4. 

Any chance the team from Gary had, were smothered by Myles Smith in the ninth inning.  Myles earned his 12^th save for the season and the Milkmen left the field in winning fashion.

The leaders offensively were Manny Boscan who had 2 hits, scored 1 run and drove in 3.  Glen McClain contributed 2 hits for the Milkmen.  The rubber game of the series starts on Sunday at 2:10 pm.  Fans at tonight’s game were able to bring their dogs…culminating in them running around the bases following the end of the game.  Thanks for your support and go Milkmen!!!
