In a dramatic ending the Brooklyn Bulldogs staged a comeback and held on to
win over the Superior Blues by the count of 4 to 2.
 
Brooklyn scored the winning runs in the top of the 9th inning scoring 4
runners on 3 hits.  The highlight belonged to Brandon Inge who quieted the
home crowd when he laced a base-hit bringing home two baserunners.  Neither
team was able to score until the 8th inning.  
 
The victory went to Casey Coleman(1-5) who went 1 and 2/3 innings, allowing 2
runs. Coleman got relief help from John Axford who gained credit for his 14th
save.  Brad Ziegler(5-3) ended up with the loss in relief.  
 
Ziegler was feeling apologetic in the locker room, 'I sure let that one get
away.  What a miserable feeling to let the guys down; and our fans.  One
minute things are looking great, then. BOOM, it's over with! I just hope I
get a chance to redeem myself real soon!'
