The Hot Pockets surprised the MLB world today with a come from behind victory in the bottom of the ninth. Big innings plagued both teams as Helena pounced with 6 runs in the fifth for 6-1 lead. After trading 1-run recipes in the 6th, Monterrey pounded relievers Don Zhou and Earle Magadan in the 7th for 5 runs highlighted by Ariel Serra's second dinger blast of the game to tie the game. The silent Corn Dogs took the lead in the 8th with a lone score. Then the amazing heroics in the 9th saw a blooper over the head of the infield, a walk, a double steal then little used Alex Arrojo pinch hit single plated both runners to win the game. The play at the plate still has everyone up in arms, did the ump get the call right? The replay has been shown on HBD-ESPN all night and morning, with absolutely no conclusive evidence either way. Did his fingers touch the plate before the tag? Everything was a dusty blur even in slo-mo.
Helena has little time to celebrate as they now go to Durham to face the #1 Bulls.
