WAGNER kicks and deals ... SANDERS pops it up behind the plate ... MILLER moves under it

and he's got it ... that's one!

* O. CABRERA facing B. WAGNER, T 9th, 1 Out, Runner on 1st, Behind 2-6

The pitch ... CABRERA squibs it to the left side ... a swinging bunt ... FIGGINS charges it

picks it up and guns it to first ... and they get him! ... two away

SEXSON moves to second on the play

* R. HERNANDEZ facing B. WAGNER, T 9th, 2 Outs, Runner on 2nd, Behind 2-6

The pitch ... a lazy fly ball to left ... HERNANDEZ got under it ... and now so does BURRELL

it's in the bag ... and that's the last out of the game

FINAL SCORE : Avenging Angels 2, Thirty Helens 6
