PETCO
Park, San Diego 7/12/2005 |
Barry
Bonds had the big bomb at Petco Park as the National League All-Stars
lost a |
heartbreaker
to the American League All-Stars by the score of 4 to 2 in the 2005 |
SPIBL
Midsummer Classic. |
|
The
American League had the game winning rally in the 9th inning scoring 2
runs |
using
2 hits. Mike Lowell (MIL)
opened up the inning nicely when he banged out a |
single.
Barry Bonds (OAK) was next and he cracked a two-run walk-off
homerun into |
the
right field bleachers resulting in an exciting win for the AL and a
raucous |
post-game
celebration by the home town fans.
The AL All-Stars had 10 hits in the |
game
and the NL All-Stars had 7. |
|
Bonds
was awarded the game's Most Valuable Player award for his late-inning
heroics. |
|
Brad
Lidge (CLE) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1/3 of an inning.
Ben |
Sheets
(DET) suffered the loss in relief.
He gave up 2 runs and 2 hits without |
retiring
a batter. |
|
Sheets
has not enjoyed his two SPIBL all-star appearances thus far.
He has been the |
losing
pitcher in both the 2004 and 2005 All-Star games.
In his interview after the |
game,
he replied, "I gave it my best effort out there.
It was just an honor to be |
here
representing the Outlaws organization." |
|
After
Flatirons ace, Curt Schilling, put down the NL in order to start the
game, the |
American
League got the scoring started early with a two-run blast by Adrian
Beltre |
(OAK)
off NL starter, Victor Zambrano (KCN).
The National League answered right |
back
with single runs in the 3rd and 4th innings, including a solo shot by DH
Brad |
Wilkerson
(DET). |
|
Both
managers agreed that it was a well-played exciting game for both players
and |
fans
alike. AL manager, Alan
Lecher (CHA), said after the game, "Great finish! It |
was
nice to have a guy like Barry on our side.
I just wish I could've gotten all my |
players
in the game. They all
deserved it, no doubt." |
|
Notable
pitching performances include Oliver Perez (TOR), who struck out
hometown |
favorite
Ivan Rodriguez (SDB) with the bases loaded in the 3rd. Cory Lidle
(SDB) |
then
delighted the crowd by striking out Mark Teixeira (KCN) with runners on
the |
corners
and one out in the 4th inning to keep the game tied 2-2. |
|
Matt
Clement (PIT) had a key outing for the AL in the 6th inning.
With runners on |
2nd
and 3rd base with only one out, he induced pinch hitter Sammy Sosa (KCN)
to pop |
out
and Victor Martinez (FLA) lined out to first to end the scoring threat. |
|
Jason
Schmidt (PHN) and B.J. Ryan (ATL) combined to get out of a huge jam for
the NL |
in
the bottom of the 6th. After
Todd Helton (CHA) led off with a double, Ivan |
Rodriguez
followed with a single to put runners at the corners.
Pinch hitter Aaron |
Miles
(PIT) then grounded out to shortstop and Cesar Izturis (SDB) struck out.
After |
an
intentional walk to pinch hitter Gary Sheffield (PIT), Ryan induced
Ichiro Suzuki |
(MIL)
to ground out and end the inning. |
|
Helton
was the game's top hitter, going 2 for 2 with a double and two walks. |
