Game 140 Inning By Inning

At the game last night decided to keep score (to my wife's chagrin) and decided I'd do a haiku an inning...

Inning 1
Reds strike with double
Hammel pitches through unscathed
Rox strand two runners

Inning 2
Reds down in order
Pitchers get into their zone
Reds error squashed

Inning 3
Hammel looking good
EY and CarGo single
Rox get two runs in

Inning 4
Nice play by Barmes
Diving stop prevents a hit
Rox down in order

Inning 5
Hammel gets fifth K
Dominanting performance
Rox go quietly

Inning 6
Reds three up, three down
Nice diving catch by Atkins
DP end Rox threat

Inning 7
Hammel gets eighth K
Great start for this young pitcher
He almost homers!

Inning 8
Uh-Oh, wheels fall off
Three doubles later, game tied
Daley throws great pitch

Inning 9
Home run gives Reds lead
Rox respond, load the bases
Smith singles, scores two
