Game Highlights - Aug. 9th

~ It takes 16 innings, but the ACL's end their prolonged four game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over Moonstruck.  A walk, a bloop single that just evades shortstop Andrelton Simmons' glove and a roller that finds its way through the shortstop hole produce the smallest of small ball runs to plate the winning run.

~ A 13 inning affair in Chicago ends with a Rossell Herrera walk off single after Tommy Edman singles and steals second.

~ 11 innings in Lakeview, where visiting Hawaiian takes the 4-3 win on a two out double by Brock Holt that scores Tony Kemp.

~ A bit of gamesmanship in the bottom of the 10th in Rolla: Nomar Mazara comes off the bench to pinch hit for Kevin Pillar to lead off the inning.  Pittsburgh manager counters by bringing in Jose Castillo from the pen.  Rolla manager pinch hits Nico Goodrum for the pinch hitter.  Goodrum parks a full count fastball for the walk off homer.  Chalk one up for the home team.

~ Jacob deGrom completes a four hit shutout to lead Brooklyn to a 6-0 win over Mother Lode.  Kyle Hendricks matches deGrom for six innings, giving up just 3 hits and one run, but Howie Kendrick rips a solo homer and Harrison Bader follows with a two run shot in the 7th to chase Hendricks from the game.
