Live Blogging Baseball 9/28/11, Part 2

10:13 PM
And Prado ground out. On to the 13th, and I'm going to bed.

*****

10:10 PM
Hayward goes to third base on a wild pitch.

*****

10:05 PM
Hayward singles to open the bottom of the 12th for the Braves, and Jack Wilson bunts him over. A single should win this game for Atlanta and would send them into a one-game playoff tomorrow.

Now two out, Martin Prado at the plate.

*****

10:00 PM
Phillies do nothing in the top of the 12th inning, so the Braves can end it in the bottom of the 12th.

*****

9:57 PM
St. Louis-Houston was the last game of these four to start, and they've been done for a half-hour. Two games in extra innings, and it looks like they're finally going to get started again in Baltimore.

*****

9:54 PM
And Tampa Bay and the Yankees go to the 10th inning.

*****

9:44 PM
Phillies have runners on first and second and two outs. They're also taking out their regulars at a rapid pace -- no reason why not; this game means nothing to them, and they're better off tiring out the Braves and Cardinals anyway -- so Atlanta will have every chance to win.

And Tampa just tied the Yankees at 7.

*****

9:40 PM
Yankees don't score in the ninth inning, so going to the bottom of the ninth, they hold a slim one-run lead. They've also used nine pitchers, which may have seemed clever earlier but won't be if the game goes 14 innings or more.

*****

9:29 PM
Great catch by Michael Martinez of the Phillies in deep center off Chipper Jones. Martinez misses it, the game's over. On to the 11th inning in Atlanta, still tied 3-3.

*****

9:26 PM
I'm back. Because Tampa Bay has scored six runs in the eighth inning. Meanwhile, Michael Bourn singles to open the bottom of the tenth for Atlanta. They need him to score, because St. Louis won their game.
