the Southern Illinois Miners defeated the Rascals tonight 11-6. The ball was jumping tonight off bats from both sides. Phil Laurent, Brad Hough and Trey Hendricks were credited with home runs for the Rascals. Hendricks did not actually hit a home run. It bounced once on the warning track and went over the wall for what should have been a ground rule double, but the umpires didn't see it and gave him a home run, much to the disbelief of all Miners players and most of the crowd. This is the second blown home run call of the series by the umpires.Fortunately, it did not impact the outcome of the game.
The Miners had homers of their own from Jose Torres, Tim Dorn and Chris Hall. Hall's shot was a long opposite field job that probably went 375 feet.
Pridgeon got the win in relief for Southern Illinois. Collin Walker took the loss.
The 4th game of the series is tomorrow night
Thanks to Josh from Myspace for the story
