The Atlanta Braves beat the St Louis Cardinals yesterday 7-6 in a crazy game. The Braves led 5-4 going into the bottom of the eighth when Mike Gonzalez allowed a walk and two singles then was "helped" by two errors on defense to allow the Cardinals to take the lead 6-5. However, in the top of the ninth the Braves got to Cards closer Ryan Franklin with a single, a walk, and two doubles including the two-RBI double of Brian McCann. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 24th save of the season. Game three of the series is at 215p today. Javier Vasquez will pitch for the Braves.
Atlanta is 7 games behind Philly in the NL East and 7.5 games behind the Rockies in the wild card race.
The Ball State football team showed nothing on offense for the second week in a row in losing to #8 ranked in 1-AA New Hampshire 23-16. BSU amassed 57 yards in the first three quarters before making one last push to win the game. After a BSU TD with 6 minutes left to makes the score 23-16, the Cardinals had one last chance to tie the game but a huge penalty put the game out of reach. Freshman Kelly Page was 15 of 34 for 114 yards and 1 interception. However, he held the ball in the pocket way to long and was sacked 5 times. The NHU defense keyed on MiQuale Lewis as he was held to 21 yards on 14 carries. Lewis also had 8 catches for 22 yards. BSU's next game is Saturday at Army.
