(Burnett) at Coneheads (Nolasco). Topeka was looking to move on to the next level of the playoffs, the Coneheads were looking to force a game seven. In the bottom of the first, the Coneheads scored 3 runs, capped by a 2-RBI bases loaded single by Casey Blake (with help by 2 errors from Hanley Ramirez). David Eckstein closed the lead to 2 in the 2nd with a 1 out sacrifice fly. In the 4th inning, the Coneheads extended their lead with a solo dinger by Casey Blake and an RBI single by Felipe Lopez. The MooseDogs exploded for 7 runs in the 6th & 7th innings, putting them up 8-6 after 7. In the 8th, a Shin-Soo Choo sacrifice fly and Nelson Cruz single evened the game up at 8. We would go to extra innings. California had a chance to win it in the bottom of the 10th. Ross Glaod doubled with 0 outs, but was thrown out at third trying to advance. No score from the Coneheads that inning. In the top of the 12th, Topeka had a chance at moving ahead. Anderson Hernandez hit a 0 out infield single and was replaced by pinch runner Emmanuel Burriss. Burriss didn't do a very good job at it, and was caught trying to steal second after being caught in a pickoff. No Topeka scores in this inning. California had another shot at winning the game in the bottom of the 12th. Gabe Kapler hit a 0 out single. Maicer Izturis flied out, and Billy Butler struck out to put 2 outs on. Felipe Lopez hit a 2-out single, moving Kapler to third. Now it was up to Victor Martinez. Would Martinez be able to come through? Yes. Martinez hits a grounder up the middle, scoring Kapler and ending the game. California wins game 6 by a score of 9-8, and force a decisive game seven.

This one was for all of the (round one) marbles. The first score of the game happened in the top of the 5th inning when Johnny Damon smacked a solo home run. In the top of the 6th, with runners at first and third, Chone Figgens smacked an RBI single. Andy Pettitte followed it up with a 2-RBI double, and with 2 outs, Mark Teixeira hit an RBI single. 5-0 Topeka. In the bottom of the 8th, Billy Butler and Ross Gload hit back to back home runs to put California on the scoreboard, 5-2 Topeka. The score would be 5-2 Topeka heading into the bottom of the 9th. California had 3 outs to manufacture 3 runs or more. Ryan Franklin was pitching for Topeka. The first batter, Marcus Thames, grounded out. Maicer Izturis grounded out for out #2. The Coneheads' season depended on Blake DeWitt. DeWitt, who hit a lowly .118 during the regular season. But his post-season performance would be better than his regular season performance, as DeWitt hit an infield single. Now it was up to Felipe Lopez. 2 outs, down by 3. Lopez, who hit .307 in the regular season, and reached base nearly 40% of the time. A walk would put the tying run at the plate. But it was not to be. Lopez flied out to center, ending the game. Topeka wins game 7 by a score of 5-2, and advance to the RY Conference Finals. MOOSEDOGS WIN 4-3. 10/8/2009, TOP09-CAL09, Angel Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2009 MooseDogs 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 0 0 5 13 0 11 0 2009 Coneheads 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 9 1 8 0 MooseDogs AB R H BI D T
