Helena Brewers at Ogden Raptors: Game 2

2010 Playoffs: Championship Series, Game 2

vs
14 - 3
Series: Helena wins 2-0

Game Starts 7pm. Lindquist Field, Ogden UT
This was the end of the season for the Raptors. It was sad seeing them lose like this, i know they felt bad losing this game like this. They looked pretty disappointed in the end. They played pretty bad in a game that decided the championship. The score ended up being 14-3 and it didn't even really feel that close. Even so, i knew up until the last inning or two the Raptors could come back. They have done it before and have had some huge scoring innings. This game would have been huge, to come back from that big of a lead, in the Championship series. But.... this wasn't their game, or year i guess in the end. Tho it was the first and only other time they went to the Championship series since 1996 i think it was. So thats an accomplishment, and getting past the Owlz was an accomplishment as well.



We sat next to the Raptors dugout and Allston loved it. He thought it was so cool to talk to the players and give them high fives. I thought it was cool too.

The Raptors pitchers really struggled through the first 5 innings. They just didn't look great and the Brewers were hitting EVERYTHING.

This was the damage after the first half of the 5th inning. Not too good looking.

Allston was given a ball by Pedro Guerrero, the backup shortstop. He was giddy about being there with the players and that one of them gave him a ball.


So here it is, the Brewers just won the game and are celebrating.

This really was a fun game to go to even tho it was a bit of a blowout and the Raptors lost. The playoff games were pretty intense and it was alot of fun. These were nice seats we had too. We'll have to try to get those again for other games next year. I think we'll go to more games next year. Too bad the season doesn't start til June. Good job to the Raptors this year. See ye next year.

Game Attendance: 2272
