Game 15 - Royals @ Orioles

Before the game started I signed up to win tickets at the Ford booth outside the stadium. Just before the game was about to start I got a call that I had won the tickets. The intersting thing is that I was giving the guy, who was around my age, a bunch of crap before I went in. Ford was handing out signs that said "Go Orioles." I told him that I wanted a bunch of signs to take with me. He allowed me to have four, but no more. I convinced everyone else to grab some for me to have to take back to Springville. When I had gotten that call that I had won two tickets to a game I went back down to the booth to accept my prize! I was so excited to have won, but knew I would never get the chance to use the tickets. After getting a picture taken by the red Ford Focus I asked another worker if I could have a bunch of the signs. He said, "Yeah take as many as you want!" So I reached for the whole stack and picked up about 50 when the kid my age said, "Hey, you can't take all of those, we need them!" He said I could have half of them as long as I agreed to hand them out inside the gate. I put about ten back and promised to do work for Ford, but of course I kept all of them. I was so excited to tell my girlfriend Kalli's mom, that I had gotten almost fifty "Go Orioles" signs. She was thrilled, and said she could give them to teachers at the school.

As for the game, does anyone remember the show Lamb Chop? Well, if you don't, at the end of the show they would always sing, "This is the song that never ends." Well that's what could have been said about game two of the Orioles and the Royals. Both teams started out scoring quick. The Royals didn't waste any time scoring int he second inning putting together a series of five hits to score four runs. In the bottom of the inning the Orioles were only able to get one run on a solo homerun by #14 Reimold the left fielder. The score was 4-1 when the Oriole offense started to come alive. A single and a bunt put runners safely at first and second base. There were two easy fly balls to the outfield and runners stranded when a hit to the outfield scored one run to make it a 4-2 game. This brought Reimold up to the plate again. This time he cranked a three run homer to make the score 5-4 for the Oriole advantage. The Royals tied the game at 5 each in the fourth inning. The game tied sent it to extra innings. From there on it was still scoreless until the 12th inning of play when the Orioles, Guerrero, had a single up the middle scored the runner from second base for a 6-5 win.
