Ejection, Home runs and a bad home run call?

The Miners won 9-4 .This game had everything... an ejection,horrible defense, a steal of home, an controversial home run call, a rocket outfield assist from Vega and an crazy opposite field homer from Tim Dorn.

Gary Cahoon took the loss for the Rascals, Wooley got the win for the Miners.

The miners took and early 3-0 lead behind homers by Chris Hall , an RBI single by Ralph Santana and a Sac Fly by Scanzano.

Trey Hendricks scored to answer for the Rascals on a throwing error by Wooley.

The Miners got two more runs on a solo shot by Tim Dorn and an RBI double by Santana. Dorn looked fooled on the pitch and was out on his front foot. It was all arm extension that powered the ball the other way over the big Budweiser sign.

The Rascals answered with a run of their own as Phil Laurent scored on a sac fly from Anthony Albano.

The game got insane in the ninth. Right fielder Tim Rowe made an error and Bobby Mosby missed a tag at first, allowing three runs to score.

Kane hooked a long fly down the right field line off Walker that looked like it was fair.. it was so high it was over the foul pole, but I think it was fair and I had a pretty good look at it. The umpire called it foul, prompting the Miner's field staff argue vehemently. Kane threw his helmet while arguing and later struck out after a very long at bat. He yelled at umpire Joe Orf after the at bat, prompting an ejection. After being ejected, he still jawed for a few seconds with the ump until the Miner's manager shoved him into the dugout.

Game two of the four game series is tomorrow night.

Thank you Josh from myspace for this story!
