* J. MAUER facing F. RODNEY, T 9th, 2 Outs, Bases Empty, Behind 6-8
He lets it go ... over but low ... and MAUER takes first
Four Winds manager looking at his scoresheet
We have a pause in the action here ... and will bring in a pinch runner at first base
MAUER leaves the field ... here comes Erick AYBAR ... that makes him the DH for now ... he's fast
Four Winds skipper wants that run
* M. CABRERA facing F. RODNEY, T 9th, 2 Outs, Runner on 1st, Behind 6-8
The pitch from RODNEY ... swung on ... grounded to HEADLEY at third ... only one play
the long throw to first ... got him ... and that's out number three and the game
FINAL SCORE : Four Winds 6, Taters 8
