Void of any sensational individual performances (although Alfonso Soriano did rip 2 homers), this game was just an insane rollercoaster. After trading runs back and forth with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts for 8 innings, the visiting Hoptown Sawbones, then down 6-3, mount an explosive comeback and score 7 in the top of the 9th to take a 10-6 lead. Undeterred the Lonely Hearts scored exactly 4 in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game back up at 10, and then won it in the bottom of the 10th.
Bonus note: Check out how the top of the 5th ended.
