@BoiseHawksRadio: Hawks 9/5 lineup - Amaya 4, Bruno 9, Candelario 5, Vogelbach DH, Hernandez 6, Almora 8, Shoulders 3, Contreras 2, Martin 7, Pena 1

Nothing for Boise first 2 times to the plate, other than a Bruno single down the 3B line.

[rawaction]

Pena gets out of the 2nd unscathed. Gives up an IF hit off his glove, then gives up a double off the wall, but because Bruno looked like he was going to catch it the runner had to hold and couldn't score.

[rawaction]

Contreras scores on a wild pitch. 1-0 Hawks.

[rawaction]

Ugly inning in the Hawks favor. Walk, wild pitch, single, wild pitch, walk, Candelario hits a pretty deep flyball, but the OF is setting up to make the play......and the ball goes 10 feet over his head. Hawks score 2, lead 3-0.

Willson Contreras was ejected for spiking the ball after a bad call. After he was ejected, the call was reversed.

What a strong outing by Felix Peña.

[El Duderino]

Holy crap, Safford, don't have a heart attack. Awesome.

[Guest]

Gioskar Amaya with a fantastic defensive play on a ball deflected off the mound to end a Yakima threat and preserve a 3-2 Boise lead.

 

We go to the 9th...

[El Duderino]

I'm pretty sure that was Almora's first Boise walk.

[Guest]

Almora gets to third with two outs but is stranded there.

 

To the bottom of the 9th we go, Boise up 3-2.

[Guest]

I'm pretty sure that was Almora's first Boise walk.

 

Yep - IsoD of 0 at Boise in the regular season. He only had 2 at Mesa.

[Guest]

Orozco still in there, pitching the 9th too.

 

Got a K against the first batter.

4-3 ground out. Two outs.

6-3 ground out. Boise wins and advances to the NWL Championship against Vancouver!
