Here is one for the ages. I am losing 2-1, Norwood Gibson pitching for my Blue Stockings in the top of the sixth, gives up two runs in the sixth, now I am losing 4-1, Gibson is the second batter, leadoff single, HAL lets Gibson bat and stay in the game. Fortunate for me Gibson singles and he contributes to a three run inning. HAL leaves him in, I have Luis Salazar on the bench to pinch run, Salazar stays on the bench. I do score three runs to tie the score, in the eighth inning with Gibson still pitching I score three more runs and force a game five semi-final showdown. Gibson pitched eight innings and HAL had multiple chances to pull him in the sixth and eighth inning. I will take that to the bank. HAL screws up to my benefit. The only thing I could think of is that Gibson laid down a bunt and beat it out. , why would HAL leave him in to swing away, down 4-1. Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
