The Phillies got a much needed win against the Yankees in game one of the world series yesterday, 6-1. Cliff Lee was dominant for Philly, giving up 1 unearned run in a complete game effort. He struck out 10 with no walks and 6 hits over 122 pitches. The top 4 hitters in the Philly lineup were 6-for-17 with 4 RBI and 5 runs scored. Those same hitters for the Yankees were 4-for-16 with no runs or RBI. CC Sabathia did not pitch bad for New York, throwing 7 innings and only giving up 2 earned runs, both on Chase Utley homers. The Yankee bullpen was not so good, giving up 4 runs in 2 innings. The Phillies got the win they needed and have a good shot at this series not coming back to New York after tonight's game.
Drew Storen pitched an inning for the Phoenix Desert Dogs last night, giving up 1 hit and no runs. In 6-2/3 innings, he has given up 1 earned run (1.35 ERA) and 8 hits while walking one and striking out 6 hitters. Opponents are batting .286 against him, but right-handed hitters are only batting .167.
Ball State plays Ohio this weekend and it looks like the betting community thinks they have a chance. The line has dropped to BSU being a 6.5 point underdog with the o/u of 44. Ball State will have to use it's rushing attack against Ohio's defense, which is 5th in the MAC in rushing defense and 3rd in the MAC in total defense.
