Division series games 10-3-2018

Utah 10 Boston 8

Every Ute reached base as the Utes took an early 6-1 lead and held on to win a slugfest for game 1.  Frank Lewis had 2 hits, 2 runs, and a walk, Lonnie Ritson and Erick Reinfelder homered.

Jeff Powell picked up the win in relief.

Green Day 5 Bay Area 0

Felix Torres hit a pair of homers, including a leadoff shot against Jorge Vierra.  Mark Rigsby allowed only 2 hits through 6 innings as Green Day evened the series.

Miami 6 Cleveland 0

Devan Arceneaux had 3 RBI on a bases clearing double and Oswipe Cabrera added a late 2 run homer as Miami took game one.  Scott Elzy pitched into the 7th, allowing 5 hits, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.  Lou Watson, Travis Howard, and Ervin Russell did not allow a Cleveland base runner in relief.

New York 5 Florida 4

Buddy Dervish was wild, throwing 96 pitches to get through only 3 innings.  Pedro Lewis only went three innings for New York, giving up 3 runs in the bottom second.

In the 4th Dervish took the mound with a 3-1 lead but walked the bases loaded.  That forced manager Calhoun to go to the pen for David Tejada.  Tejada struck out Lee Thompson, then walked David Jackson to force in a run.  Bear singled and Chad White hit a sac fly to make it a 4-3 NY lead.

Florida tied the game in the 5th as Angel Garcia singled, stole 2 bases, and scored on a passed ball.  They were not able to score any more as White hit into a double play with the bases loaded and one out.

In the 8th inning New York stole a run of their own as Jeff Bowman singled with one out and speedy Luis Harris came in to run.  Harris stole second and third and scored on a Daniel Klein sacrifice fly.

Florida's last chance came in the bottom of the 9th against Jon Papelbrad.  Gromit led off the inning with a hit to deep left center field.  Daniel Klein made a spectacular catch, leaping into the wall and fully extending himself to rob Gromit of extra bases.  Bob Brady then belted one into the right center gap, a ball that Klein could not get, but Brady for some reason thought he should try to stretch a double into a triple.  Klein threw him out.  Angel Garcia grounded out, and the Cobra are now one game away from knocking the Penguins out of the playoffs.
