An LaRoche flied out to left field

[Outshined_One]

That also would have been a HR on a normal day.

[UMFan83]

Phew... Len said it best. That reminded me of another game vs. Pittsburgh

jebus, man

[UMFan83]

What is Theriot doing out there?

[UMFan83]

Daryle Ward is the answer I believe to the Aflac Q

 

After collecting a double, walk, triple and home run in his first four at-bats, Ward was just a single short of the feat when he popped out to third base to end the seventh inning.

 

"I was hoping to get one more shot," said Ward. "I had a conversation with (Cardinals outfielder Jim) Edmonds at first base and he said he was praying for me to get one. I want to thank him for that. I thought that was pretty cool."

 

Edmonds' prayers were answered when the Pirates put three runners on base in the eighth inning to assure Ward of another at-bat in the ninth. This time, Ward made the most of his opportunity.

 

Down 0-2 in the count, after fouling off a pair of pitches from Cardinals reliever Steve Kline, Ward bounced a high chopper over the head of first baseman Albert Pujols for his fourth hit of the night.

Nothing like averaging over 20 pitches an inning. Talk about efficiency.
