The Louisville Grays lost the season opener against the Senators
after blowing a six run lead entering the bottom of the last inning.
The
Grays scored four in the top of the first. John Garcia walked and
stole second and went to third as Jose Cubero reached on an error. Mark
Ferguson drove John in with a single and advanced Jose to second.
After Jose stole third and John Denney was hit by a pitch and stole
second, both scored as Brent Bonte reached on the Senators' second
error of the inning.
In the second, the Grays added a run as Dave Porta and Chris Gregory doubled back to back.
In the bottom of the second, four Senator singles cut the lead to 5-2.
The score remained 5-2 until the bottom of the fifth when a lead-off walk and a pair of singles produced a run and a 5-3 score.
In the sixth, three consecutive singles cut the Grays' lead to 5-4.
In
the seventh, the Grays plated two unearned runs on two Senator errors
and played add-on in the eighth and last inning scoring three on a
single by Jose, a walk to Mark, and singles by John D. and Bill Keeling
and taking a 10-4 lead.
But in the bottom of the eighth
after there were two outs and runners on second and third, EIGHT
straight singles scored seven runs and let the Senators escape with an
11-10 win.
