Game
5 we really want to close this out, it’s a rematch of game 1 Scherzer vs

Feeling pretty good with my bullpen until top 9 when with Hendricks in, 2 outs
none on…Correa again connects, this time with the magic 4-9 roll off Hendricks
card. Jeff Steals game 5 and makes it aa tight series at 3-2 now.

Freeman leads off with aa HR, ten the floodgates
open….1B-1B-2B-1B and when it’s over it’s 4-0
Harry. Posey hits a SAC Fly in the 6th to make it 5-0…and Nola
(6 IP, 9k’s) and T. Wells (3 innings) finish it off for Harry, 4 games to 2.
