Biggest moment of 24-year old starting pitcher
John Weaver's life was yesterday, and he totally rose to the occasion. With the future Hall of Famer Jake Harris looking like the Jake Harris of old (not the old Jake Harris) and the Columbus defense providing him with sparkling support, somehow young John Weaver was even just a bit better. If the Brewers do manage to hold on and take this series, even though he likely won't be given the honor, many in the Brewers clubhouse would argue that the series MVP is this young man. A gutsier performance you will not see. Of course, a scoreless inning each from
Ben Flynn and
Tim Shore were also key in this 1-run shutout win. And with the Brewers only getting 4 hits in the game, it was a timely 2-out single by
Jake DiCesare (
Bobby Erbakan had led off the inning with a double) in the 7th inning against Columbus closer Jamar Clay that was the game-winning hit.
It's do or time now for Columbus as they face the red-hot
Sadahige Kawasaki in a must-win game 5 today. Meanwhile, the Brewers are looking to clinch their third WPK championship with one more win.
