2018 Championship Series – Deadlocked

Lemons and Juggs tied at 2 games a piece. Lemons win game 1 2-0 at Juggs . Juggs win game 2 5-3 at home . Game 3 at Lemons Juggs win 9-0 . Game 4 at Lemons Juggs lose 3-2 , that game tied 2-2 top of 5th Juggs load bases no outs . Judge rolls a 24 result only one on card , Lemons were playing close , but roll fielding 3 so only one out at home plate . Donaldson up next gets a 27 3b play result, DP . Unbelievable. Juggs mentally broke after that . Bottom of 5th 2 outs . Neshek in +43 vs homers gives up homer to Jose Martinez. Lemons take 3-2 lead and hold it for win . Juggs did have a two out PH double by Dejong, Hicks up next , but Juggs debate PH K Seager he has a 0 at 22 Hicks only an 8 . But Hicks has a better chance to get on base so I talk myself out of it . Yep I roll a 22 which would have been a 0 but taken to 7 by pitcher . But Dejong would have most likely scored to tie it . 😑. Juggs travel to Lemons next Sunday to finish up series.

At Juggs newly named Basher Stadium, Juggs get 3 hard fought home wins.

Game One was a tight 1-1 game until the bottom of the 12th. Chad Greene was in his fourth inning of relief when he walked Smoak to lead off. Schoop inch runs. A WP sends Schoop to second. Taylor Ks. Hicks flies to left. Lowrie gets the game-winning hit with an RBI double. Juggs win 2-1.

Juggs have five walks this game, part of the 20 we have for the series. Juggs got their first run in the first with 2 outs on back to back doubles by Donaldson and Gennett. Judge hit into a double play after Votto walked at the top of the inning.

Lemonheads scored their only run in the 6th. Albies hits a lead off single,  advances to second on a ground out, and then is singled home by JD Martinez. Lemonheads had first and third with one out and JD up again, but this time hits into a DP in the 8th.

Chad Greene took the loss  Swarzak gets the win.

Game Two saw Juggs in trouble early. Duvall hits a 3 run bomb for the Lemonheads in the top of the second. Juggs get one back in the bottom half. Juggs get to make it a one run game when Smoak hits a solo blast after his first inning double. Bottom of third, Lemonheads up 3-2.
