Hollywood vs New York Game 1

This game was a matchup of Pedro Lewis and Denis Leary. It was a great pitchers duel and stayed a dual shutout until the 7th inning. In the 4th inning, Brett Solo was so upset after striking out for the 2nd time, he said the wrong thing to the home plate ump, and was promptly ejected. In the 7th, Keith Lee led off with a single and moved to third base on Tommy Keatley's (Brett Solo's replacement) hit and run single. Joe Thomas then followed with an rbi single, and after a Tim Griffin sacrifice bunt, pinch hitter Peter Cooney delivered a run scoring groundout. With a 2 run lead, New York opted to leave Pedro Lewis in to bat with a runner on third base and 2 out. Lewis grounded out to short to end the inning. Lewis then had 2 runners on base and 2 out, when the left-handed hitting Freddie Justis strode to the plate. New York opted to bring in their best lefty, Rudiger Rocker. After Rocker walked Justis on 4 pitches, Eddie went to the pen again, summoning closer Troy Everett. Luckily for the Cobra, Everett was able to get Roy Brown to fly out to centefield to end the threat. Everett then recorded a 1-2-3 9th inning to earn the save and preserve the 2-0 victory.
