~ Mother Lode's Jeff Hoffman walks seven in 5.2 innings of work but allows just one run. All hitters in the Argo lineup collect at least one hit and Mother Lode waltzes to an unlikely blowout, 9-1 over Windy City.

Told you today was CRAZY WEIRD!
"~ A wild extra inning affair in Motor City. After six innings the game is tied 1-1. Final score in 10 innings . . . 10-9! Take a look at the craziness of the last third of the game."
It was crazy and probably took 2.5 hrs to play the last third of the game too! Jordan Hicks gets credit for the Hold even after giving up 5 runs.
