Well, that was a crazy game. And another great win.
Top prospect, Harry Lyerly, having recently been brought up to the big league club when Diego Ramirez once again went on the 10-day DL (calf strain), got his first major league start today at Brewers Field.
Lyerly was pretty much as advertised, allowing 2 HR's, but also striking out 9 and walking 3 batters. After allowing 2 runs in the first inning, he settled down nicely until allowing single runs in the 8th and 9th.
But the Brewers offense came alive in the bottom of the 9th to insure that he didn't suffer a loss in his first big league start. The Brewers 3-run 9th was keyed by a Tanner Yurek 3-run homerun. The Brewers had a good chance to end it then and there as Bobby Erbakan followed with a triple but he was stranded at third and the game went to extra innings. Neither team scored another run through the 12th inning but then the visiting Falcons strung together a pair of singles and a sac bunt to plate 1 run in the 13th. The Brewers fought back in the bottom of the inning and once again tied the game (this time Tanner Yurek tied it with a run-scoring single).
Then, finally and improbably, back-up catcher Joey Townsend sent the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the 14th inning into the rightfield seats and Brewers Field erupted in joy and relief.
