The Orioles had their second MYBA playoff game tonight. The now 10-5 Orioles took on the first place 13-1 Indians who were coming off of a well-rested first round bye. But the Orioles were up to the challenge storming out to an 11-2 lead. Andrew walked his first AB, got hit with a pitch his second AB and hit a line-drive out his third AB. He scored a couple runs and had a couple stolen bases. He also pitched the 3rd inning and started the 4th inning. However, with the score 12-6, he got pulled after giving up a couple hits and a walk - mostly as a stall tactic to delay the need for starting the 5th inning (since we were close to the 1:45 mark in which a new inning cannot be started). The tactic failed however, as the Indians scored 4 runs and ended the inning with 4 minutes left necessitating the need for a 5th inning. But the Orioles stormed back again scoring 5 more runs and shutting out the Indians in the bottom of the 5th inning to end the game with a 17-10 final score. Next game is Thursday against a very tough 14-1 Twins team (it's the last team the Orioles lost against 7 games ago).
