* BOTTOM OF THE 8th, Hallelujah 4, Discos 10
* C. BLACKMON facing C. KNEBEL, B 8th, No Outs, Bases Empty, Ahead 10-4
The pitch ... scorched back through the box ... it caroms off his leg ... BAEZ charges over
bang-bang play at first ... BLACKMON is out! ... a little shin-burner
Corey KNEBEL shakes it off ... he'll be alright ... one down
* M. OZUNA facing C. KNEBEL, B 8th, 1 Out, Bases Empty, Ahead 10-4
To the plate ... wide of the strike zone ... ball four ... and OZUNA trots down to first
* D. MURPHY facing C. KNEBEL, B 8th, 1 Out, Runner on 1st, Ahead 10-4
KNEBEL comes to him ... lofted deep to left field ... BELLINGER got a late start ... he's back
way back ... he won't get it ... it's gone! ... home run for MURPHY
he seems to like base runners
Hallelujah 4, Discos 12
Discos skipper walking down the bench
He'll give La STELLA a rest ... who is it? ... Michael CONFORTO will bat for La STELLA ... bats left
he grabs a bat ... and heads toward the plate ... La STELLA leaves this game with 2 hits
and 2 ribbies
* M. CONFORTO facing C. KNEBEL, B 8th, 1 Out, Bases Empty, Ahead 12-4
The pitch ... right in there ... he's called out on strikes ... two away
* E. HOSMER facing C. KNEBEL, B 8th, 2 Outs, Bases Empty, Ahead 12-4
The pitch ... breaking ball ... bounced past KNEBEL ... BAEZ's over ... he stabs for it
makes the pick up ... and throws HOSMER out by a step ... and the side is retired
Can afford to shuffle things around ... this game is under control ... for the Discos
Kris BRYANT moves to third base
For those of you keeping score at home ... Michael CONFORTO will stay in the game
he goes to left field for the Discos
* TOP OF THE 9th, Hallelujah 4, Discos 12
* D. FOWLER facing P. NESHEK, T 9th, No Outs, Bases Empty, Behind 4-12
Now NESHEK comes home with it ... fastball ... it's a nubber to the left of the mound
CRAWFORD charges ... picks up the ball barehanded ... and he gets him ... one away
Hallelujah manager looking at his scoresheet
He'll share the playing time ... is calling on the pine-sitters ... who is it?
that's Scooter GENNETT heading in to replace HARRISON
so the lefty will face NESHEK the right-hander
* S. GENNETT facing P. NESHEK, T 9th, 1 Out, Bases Empty, Behind 4-12
The pitch ... he goes down on strikes ... two gone
* J. BAEZ facing P. NESHEK, T 9th, 2 Outs, Bases Empty, Behind 4-12
The pitch ... it's grounded into the hole ... scooped by CRAWFORD ... thrown on to first
it's in the dirt ... but they get him ... HOSMER digs it out
and that's out number three and the game
FINAL SCORE : Hallelujah 4, Discos 12
