Hey Memphis Redbirds fans! Did you see the amazing game between the Redbirds and the Colorado Springs Sky Sox? After sixteen amazing innings, the Redbirds landed an astounding win!

This game was so huge that outfielder Amaury Cazana, who knocked out a walk-off home run to center field, received a shaving-cream pie in the face from third baseman Ruben Gotay. That’s one way to celebrate, right?

Though Amaury Cazana was the star of the game, the bullpen was what really attributed to the game’s spectacular win. Colorado Springs touched Redbirds starter Nate Robertson for five runs on nine hits in five innings. But after the Sky Sox collected a hit and a pair of walks against reliever Renyel Pinto in the seventh inning, their next 27 batters were retired, and 11 of the last 16 struck out. After stretching the game out to 7 more innings, it’s nothing short of amazing that the Redbirds pulled it off.

It’s amazing that the 4000 plus fans stayed in the stands until the end of the game. When it comes to baseball games, i’m normally ready to bring it in by the 7th inning, unless the game is really good. I guess that’s what happened to fans last night.

Can’t wait to see what happens at the next game!
