If you like offense, then this was the game for you. With sixteen combined runs and twenty total hits, it was a definite barnburner. And it actually took an eighth inning comeback for the Cats to win. So, with not too much time (or space) to ramble on, here’s the recap. Lynchburg took an early lead in the first as Brian Friday singled and scored on a Miles Durham line drive. Salem tied it up in the second when Greg Buchanan singled and plated on a Cesar Quintero ground out. The Cats added two more in the bottom half by Jared Keel reaching on an error, Eddie Prasch walking, and both scoring on a Friday two-run single. The scoring took a three inning break, but came back with a vengeance in the top of the sixth when Salem scored an astounding five runs. Jhon Florentino singled, James Van Ostrand doubled scoring Florentino, and Buchanan hit a two-bagger that scored Van Ostrand. Kevin Carkeek would then walk followed by a Quintero three-run home run to deep left field. Lynchburg would get one back in the bottom part when Jared Keel hit his twentieth home run of the year. The Avs would return the favor in the seventh when Orlando Rosales walked and plated on a Tim Torres RBI single. The Cats would score another run in the end of the seventh when Kris Watts doubled and came home on a Danny Bomback single. The bottom of the eighth would soon arrive with the Cats down two runs. So what would they do? Score four runs of course. Kent Sakamoto was hit by a pitch, Eddie Prasch singled, and Sakamoto scored after some clever base running on a Matt Cavagnaro reach on error. Prasch and Cavagnaro would come home on another Watts double. Watts would then score when Friday reached on an error. It was an amazing comeback and something I will remember as the season closes tomorrow afternoon.

Stat of the Night: Two was the number of the night for Kris Watts. He had two hits which were both doubles, scored two runs, and had two RBI.
