  Grove-31 rocks and fires ...

  Way upstairs ... and that's ball four to Mitchell-24.


Cuyler-25 checks in. 
  So far today he is 0 for 3.
  nobody out.
  Mitchell-24 stretching his lead at first.
  And they elect to play behind Mitchell-24.
  The windup and the pitch from Grove-31 ...

  High chopper to third base ...
  fielded there by Werber-40 ... 
  and he throws to Cohen-28 for the force ...
  and down to first ...
  in time ... double play!


Now here's Gehringer-34. 
  So far today he is 0 for 2.
  two out.
  Grove-31 ready and deals ...

  Gehringer-34 hits it on the ground to second base ...
  fielded there by Cohen-28 ... 
  and he fires to Foxx-32 to get him.

And this one belongs to USA_Southeast!
The final score is USA_Southeast 12 - Midwest 1
