SLCS game 2

Orlando took leads of 1-0 and 3-2, but trailed the Hawks going to the 9th.  With 1 out Eddie Cedeno used his speed to take the lead.  He drew a walk from Jerome Gonzalez, stole second and third, and came home on a sac fly by Jacen Solo.

In the bottom 9th Greg Santor singled with 2 outs.  Mark Roberts brought left hander Bobby Torres to face LJ Burroughs.  LJ grounded to short to end the game.  

Torres was technically the closer, leading the team with 8 saves.  Roberts got saves from 9 different pitchers this year, embracing 'bullpen by committee'.

The non standard approach worked out well, as the Hawks went 38-13 in one run games.
