<div dir="ltr"><div>Thought I'd pass along an interesting game that was played between POR & KAT which put on display one of the most pathetic displays of clutch hitting in my 11 year history in the league. KAT jumped out to an early 3-0 league behind a HR by Maldonado HOU & a 2b by Newman PIT in the 2nd. It was 4-1 KAT headed into the 7th before a throwing error by Britton NYA and a key 2 out single by Cruz MIN. Then the futility began.</div><div><br></div><div>POR 8 - 1 out runner on 2nd, no runs</div><div>KAT 9 - 1 out runner on 2nd, no runs</div><div>POR 10 - Thames thrown out at the plate to end the inning, no runs</div><div>KAT 10 - 1 out runner on 3rd, no runs</div><div>POR 12 - 1 out, runners on 2nd & 3rd, no runs</div><div>KAT 12 - 1 out, runner on 2nd, no runs</div><div>POR 13 - 0 out, runner on 3rd, no runs</div><div>KAT 13 - 1 out, runners on 1st & 3rd, no runs</div><div>POR 14 - 1 out, runners on 1st & 3rd, no runs</div><div>KAT 14 - 1 out, runner on 2nd, no runs</div><div><br></div><div>a one out HR by Newman mercifully ended the game for a KAT 5-4 victory in the 15th with both teams combining to use 13 pitchers. Newman ended up going 10-14 with 2 BB, 2 2B & 2 HR in the series.</div><div><br></div><div>
