ALDS Game 2 - "Long Ball for All"


GAME 2
Sorensen vs Moyer
Brewers 5, Mariners 3

A must win for the Brew Crew who rely on 2 pitchers to carry them to victory.  With their 1a guy Caldwell losing the opener they series rested firmly on the shoulder of Lary Sorensen to get the much needed win.  Sorensen got to within 1 out of going the distance, but needed a little help from lefty Bob McClure to get pinch hitter Bloomquist to line out to 3rd to end the game.  Milwaukee was up 5-1 heading into the bottom of the 9th, but trouble stared when Sorensen gave up 4 consecutive one out singles and a warning track sac fly.  The Brew crew held on to even the series up.  Brewer catcher Charlie Moore was a perfect 3 for 3 before being lifted for a pinch hitter, Buck Martinez, who also got a hit.  The Brew Crew relied on the long ball with Gorman Thomas, Cecil Cooper and Ben Oglivie all going deep.  Jamie Moyer gave up 5 runs in 7 innings on 10 hits and was tagged with the loss.
Series tied 1-1
