PCL Playoffs: Nashville at Albuquerque - September 5, 2003

The first nine innings...


Nashville's Adam Hyzdu bats in the first. [2048x1536]

Albuquerque's Chad Allen hits a first inning RBI single, tying the game at 2. Yes, the first inning lasted long enough that it got dark since the previous picture in the top half. [2048x1536]

Runners on second and third for the Isotopes. [2048x1536]

Robert Stratton of the Isotopes is up with 2 on and 2 out in a tie game. [2048x1536]

And he hits an inside-the-park home run! [2048x1536]

And he is congratulated by his teammates. [2048x1536]

Stratton reaches the dugout. 5-2 Isotopes, still in the 1st! [2048x1536]

Then Paul Hoover followed with a solo home run to make it 6-2 after 1. [2048x1536]

He gets congratulations, too. [2048x1536]

Third base view from a walk around the park. [2048x1536]

Looking back at the main grandstand from third. [2048x1536]

And in the left field corner. [2048x1536]

From the picnic area in left. [2048x1536]

From the berm in right. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

The berm view of the scoreboard. [2048x1536]

The race - Orbit against a kid. Just like Southpaw up in Troy, Orbit is winless on the year. [2048x1536]

Seventh inning stretch time. [2048x1536]

This guy sang a very off-key version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, but I give the stretch high marks for the good crowd participation. The Isotopes wrecked the whole thing by playing a certain song-that-shall-not-be-named after Take Me Out to the Ballgame. [2048x1536]

Tied at 7 at the stretch. [2048x1536]

Still tied at 7 going to the bottom of the 9th. [2048x1536]

Kevin Hooper bats for Albuquerque in the 9th. [2048x1536]

Chad Allen... [2048x1536]

... who grounded into a fielder's choice to send us to extra innings. [2048x1536]
