2018 SLCS Game 2
It started off as a pitcher’s duel. Carlos Padron went 5 innings for Miami, allowing 2 hits and no runs. Darin Makowsky went 6 1/3 for Utah, scattering 6 hits and striking out 6.
Miami went to the bullpen in the 6th as RJ Duke wanted Travis Howard to face the lefties in the middle of Utah’s order. He struck out Erick Reinfelder and Frank Lewis.
It was still scoreless in the 8th when Saving Ute Harry Archer walked Peter Rabbitt to start the inning. Rabbitt stole second, and one out later the Utes walked Devan Arceneaux intentionally. Armando Ortiz pinch hit for Todd Merkich and flew out. Trevor Burton then hit a 2 run triple to give Miami a lead.
In the bottom of the inning Wilton Mendez hit a one out double and Miami went to their closer Dwight Schrute. Jose Landry flew out and Mike Winters struck out. Miami failed to add on in the top of the 9th and sent Schrute back out there.
He got Derek Tufnel on a fly to center, then Erick Reinfelder singled. Frank Lewis looked at a 3-2 pitch just off the corner and did what Frank does best, get on base. Pinch hitter Ethan Howell lined a single to load the bases.
Steve Taylor, 2 for 3 in the game so far, added his name to the Utah legends by crushing a grand slam to dead center field off the league’s best closer, a 439 foot shot. The cries of UTE! Filled the Popcorn dome for the next 2 hours.

It’s all your fault for being a stinking fat yoda. You dwell within the tree of bullshit and I hope to never have to watch you eat breakfast. What is seen cannot be unseen.
Utes! Lou Zamuda for GM of the year. Who knew Steve Taylor was the missing piece? Lou did! What a winner
Clint Meyers will pitch next and he’s an 18 game winner. Time for Utes to win their first World Series since 2014.
This would be the ultimate send off for the retiring Frank Lewis. And I concur with what Lefty said, you stinking fat yoda
Dear Fat Yoda, you smell.
