The victory, which followed a controversial blown call in the top of the 11th, wasted a stellar pitching performance by Chicago starter Greg Holland and key homeruns off the Cougar bench from Alfonso Soriano and Andre Ethier. </div><div> </div><div>The Cougars threatened in the first as Ryan Braun led off reaching on an error and was stranded on third base. After that, however, neither side was able to mount any threat off either starter as both Holland and Madison Bumgarner spun gems of starts. </div><div> </div><div>In the bottom of the sixth, an infield single by Josh Satin with one out was Casper's second hit of the game. After an error from Holland put runners on first and second, Holland was lifted in the scoreless tie for super reliever Koji Uehara. Two batters later, Hunter Pence singled in a couple of unearned runs and the Ghosts had staked Bumgarner to what looked like a massive 2-0 lead.</div><div> </div><div>But just a couple of batters later, with two outs in the seventh, an Ian Desmond single led to the introduction of pinch-hitter Alfonso Soriano. The Ghpsts countered with their top right-handed reliever Chris Withrow, who immediately served up a deep fly gopher ball to tie the game.</div><div> </div><div>Neither team threatened again until the bottom of the ninth when a Mike Trout leadoff double was followed by a free pass to Hunter Pence and a double steal (on a hit and run BLK). But Wil Myers struck out and pinchhitter Marco Scutaro hit a trickling grounder to third. Trout looked certain to score as a 4, but needing to roll under a 79, Trout rolled an 80 and was nabbed at home and the Cougars escaped to extra innings.</div><div> </div><div>Andre Ethier, who had entered for Soriano to play centerfield, then hit a one-out home run in the top of the tenth inning to take a lead for the Cougars. But it wasn't to last as the Ghosts maunfactured a run in the bottom of the frame on singles from Jose Reyes and Mike Trout. </div><div> </div><div>The 11th started with a bang as designated "hitter" Jeff Baker doubled for the Cougars. He was replaced by pinchrunner Juan Pierre, who immediately took off for third. Replays showed Pierre made it, but he was called out on a blown call to eliminate the threat.</div><div> </div><div>In the bottom of the frame, a one out walk to Scutaro was followed up by a goround out and an RBI single from Jay to end the game.</div><div> </div><div>Game 2 will be at 9 Eastern on Sunday night. Pre-game show starts at 7 pm on The Ocho.</div><div> </div><div> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 R H E</div><div>-------------------------------------------------</div><div>COU 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 3 6 1</div><div>CSG 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 1 4 7 2</div><div>-------------------------------------------------</div><div> </div><div>BATTERS COU AB R H RI 2B 3B HR SB CS BB K PL PR</div><div>1 lf COU MIL Braun 5 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 1</div><div>2 rf COU ARI Ross 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 4 1</div><div>3 3b COU TEX BeltreA 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 2</div><div>4 dh COU TEX Baker 4 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 3 2</div><div>4 pr-dh COU MIA Pierre 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0</div><div>5 1b COU DET Fielder 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 1</div><div>6 ss COU WAS Desmond 5 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 1</div><div>7 cf COU CHN Sweeney 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0</div><div>7 ph COU NYA Soriano 1 1 1 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1</div><div>7 cf COU LAN Ethier 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0</div><div>8 2b COU TEX Kinsler 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 3 1</div><div>9 c COU PIT Buck 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0</div><div>9 ph COU TB Young 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1</div><div>9 c COU SEA Quintero 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0</div><div>TOTALS for COU 38 3 6 3 1 0 2 0 1 4 8 31 11</div><div>PITCHERS COU IP H R ER BB K HR BF</div><div>- COU TEX Holland 5.1 2 2 0 1 11 0 20</div><div>- COU BOS Uehara 1.2 1 0 0 0 3 0 6</div><div>- COU ATL Avilan 1.1 1 0 0 1 1 0 5</div><div>- COU CLE Allen 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1</div><div>- COU MIA Cishek 0.2 2 1 1 2 0 0 5</div><div>L COU PIT Gomez 1.1 1 1 1 1 1 0 5</div><div>TOTALS for COU 10.2 7 4 2 5 16 0 42</div><div>LOB: 6</div><div>E: 1 - Holland.</div><div>PB: none.</div><div>GIDP: 2 - Fielder, BeltreA.</div><div>SH: none.</div><div>SF: none.</div><div>HBP: none.</div><div>WP: none.</div><div>IBB: none.</div><div>BALK: none.</div><div> </div><div>BATTERS CSG AB R H RI 2B 3B HR SB CS BB K PL PR</div><div>1 1b CSG NYN Satin 4 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 4 1</div><div>2 2b-3b CSG STL Carpenter 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 1</div><div>3 cf-lf CSG LAA Trout 5 0 2 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 2</div><div>4 rf CSG SF Pence 4 0 1 2 0 0 0 1 0 1 2 3 2</div><div>5 dh CSG TB Myers 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 3 2</div><div>6 lf CSG CHN Lake 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 1</div><div>6 ph-2b CSG SF Scutaro 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2</div><div>7 c CSG HOU Castro 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 3</div><div>8 3b CSG DET Santiago 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 1</div><div>8 ph CSG BOS Ortiz 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1</div><div>8 cf CSG STL Jay 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1</div><div>9 ss CSG NYA Nix 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 0</div><div>9 ph-ss CSG TOR Reyes 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1</div><div>TOTALS for CSG 39 4 7 4 1 0 0 2 0 5 16 26 18</div><div>PITCHERS CSG IP H R ER BB K HR BF</div><div>- CSG SF Bumgarner 6.2 2 1 1 3 4 0 24</div><div>- CSG LAN Withrow 1.2 1 1 1 0 4 1 6</div><div>- CSG CHA Reed 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3</div><div>- CSG OAK Blevins 0.1 2 1 1 1 0 1 5</div><div>- CSG CLE Smith 0.1 1 0 0 0 0 0 2</div><div>W CSG STL Siegrist 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2</div><div>TOTALS for CSG 11.0 6 3 3 4 8 2 42</div><div>LOB: 8</div><div>E: 2 - Santiago, Satin.</div><div>PB: none.</div><div>GIDP: 1 - Pence.</div><div>SH: none.</div><div>SF: none.</div><div>HBP: none.</div><div>WP: none.</div><div>IBB: 2 - Pence, Castro.</div><div>BALK: none.</div><div> </div><div>grs version 3.1.0<br>COU at CSG <br>October night, cool, clear, no wind, playoff grounds so small foul area</div><div>Starting pitchers - Holland for COU, and Bumgarner for CSG</div><div>COU 1: Braun safe on E 5, Braun to first.
