2-out RBI- D.Wright
 
Third baseman David Wright cracked 2 homeruns as the Fleetwood Walkers staged
a dramatic comeback over the Superior Blues by a score of 8 to 7 at SAFECO
Field.
 
Fleetwood scored the winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs. Asdrubal
Cabrera kicked off the action when he drew a walk.  Brian Bogusevic was next
and he drew a walk.  Nick Markakis then banged out a single.  Markakis took
second on a stolen base.  Jim Thome came up to bat and was walked
intentionally to load the bases.  After an out was recorded, Carlos Beltran
stepped in and he drew a walk.  Alex Avila followed next and he hit a
sacrifice fly.  This was the kind of game that many fans love as the lead
changed hands 5 times.  
 
The victory went to Jason Grilli(1-0) who went 1 and 2/3 innings, allowing no
runs. The loss was charged to Andrew Bailey(0-1) in relief.  Rube Foster was
all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last at bats, is a
beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there? You could
have heard a pin drop when we took the lead.  But, hey, that's what makes
baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over 'til
its over.'
