Hey Everyone, check out the May 22 ATL game between the Dodgers and the Red Sox. It was pretty amazing.
The Red Sox were up 11-3 going into the bottom of the eighth inning.
Robin Roberts (3-5, 4.99) had pitched seven quality innings, giving up seven hits
and only two earned runs. The Red Sox had just scored 8 runs in the top
of the eighth to seemingly put the game away. But the Dodgers came back
and scored 10 runs in the bottom of the eighth and ended up winning the
game 13-11.
Even more amazing than that was Johnny Pesky's (.280)
performance in that one
inning. In the 8th inning he was 2-2 with a grand slam HR and a bases
clearing double, for a total of 7 RBI's. He basically had the game of
his life in one inning. He was 3-for-3 in the game, as he added a
leadoff single in his frst at bat after coming in on defense in a
double-switch in the 7th.
Some other notes about the game: There were three Red Sox pitchers who
pitched in the 8th who failed to get even one out: John Smoltz (1-0, 4.50), Wilbur Cooper (1-0, 3.58), and
Dennis Eckersley (3-4, 3.18, 10 Sv). They gave up a combined nine hits, two walks, and nine runs
without recording one out. Eckersley was charged with the loss and a blown save. His overall ERA
went from 1.61 to 3.18 because of those 21 pitches. Smoltz gave up three
hits, a walk, and four earned runs on a total of 13 pitches.
There were a total of 18 runs and 16 hits in the eighth inning overall,
including three homers and four doubles. The Dodgers scored 13 runs and
still had 9 LOB. All in all, it was a pretty amazing game.
