Game #45: Zs win 3-1 in 12

The Zs completed a sweep deep into the eve last night with a 3-1, 12 inning win.

Jones gave the Zs another outstanding start, going six scoreless innings. It remained scoreless into the 9th until LoMo cranked his first homer since rejoining the Zs. It was the only extra-base hit of the game. Sinkbeil had breezed through the 7th and 8th and it was Olenberger who got the call to save it. And he blew it, allowing a single to Anthony Contreras with two strikes and two outs, inflating his ERA to 9.13 this year. He gave up three singles in the inning and was lucky to escape giving up only one run. Why is Sinkbeil not the Zs closer at this point?

Richar was the hero again, slapping a two-out, two-run single in the 12, and Veras shut the door. Brooms all around.

Most importantly, the Zs have gotten four straight quality starts, the easiest way to make a club look much healthier.
