  nobody out here in the Bottom of the 9th.
  Here comes the pitch ...

  Driven to the gap in right center ...
  Seymour-05 chasing it down ...
  but he's not going to get there ... 
  and it goes to the wall ...
  that is going to be a double for Chance-06.


McGann-05 stands in to take his turn. 
  So far today he is 1 for 2 with 1 RBI.
  nobody down.
  Chance-06 perched out at second. 
  Chance-06 showing no respect for Cronin-04's pickoff move ...
  He has a solid lead ...

  There goes Chance-06 ...
  the pitch is in the dirt ...
  and he steals the base easily.


Now McGann-05 strides to the plate. 
  So far today he is 1 for 2 with 1 RBI.
  nobody down.
  Chance-06 is parked on third. 
  And they bring the infield in.
  Cronin-04 at the belt, now comes to the plate ...

  Fastball ...
  soft line drive up the middle ...
  just over the infield ...
  and into center field for a base hit ...
  cut off there by Jones-08 ...
  single for McGann-05.
  Scoring from third is Chance-06.

  And that breaks the tie, SOU-WES-INTL now leads 4 - 3.

And that's the ballgame.
The final score is SOU-WES-INTL 4 - NY_PA_2 3
