Those crazy Brewers notched their 3rd straight walk off win last night. That's incredible!

Bill Hall hit a walk off homer with his pink bat on Mother's Day with his mother in attendance. The next day he made a killer defensive stop, then scored the winning run on a wild pitch.

According to the game recap on ESPN.com, "I actually promised Bush in the dugout that I was going to do something in the ninth inning, that we were going to have a walk-off win," Hall said.
Damian Miller bunted to the third-base side of the mound and the pitcher fired wildly to David third, allowing Hall, who led off the inning with a double, to coast home on the error.

Last night's game was a bit more dramatic, as closer Derrick Turnbow was brought in for the 9th with a 7-4 lead. He gave up one run before he was pulled in favor of left hand specialist Brian Shouse. Shouse then gave up two RBI singles to tie the game. Pulling Turnbow WAS NOT the smartest choice here.

So we blew a 3 run lead going into the bottom of the 9th. Pinch hitter Jeff Cirillo was walked and advanced to 2nd on a sacrifice bunt by Brady Clark. Rickie Weeks struck out. They then pitched around Bill Hall, for obvious reasons. That brought up Geoff Jenkins with 2 outs. Jenkins hit an RBI single on 0-1 pitch all the way to the center filed wall to win the game. The ball was inches from going yard.

The Brewers had scored 5 runs in the 6th and added another in the 7th to bring the score to 7-4.



Some notes from ESPN's coverage of yesterday's game:
Brewers starter Dave Bush scattered seven hits in six innings as Milwaukee got its 13th come-from-behind victory in 15 wins at Miller Park this season.

The Brewers can sweep the series against Philadelphia on Thursday.

"They are definitely hot at home," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "We need to get a win tomorrow and get out of Milwaukee."

Usually I'm not a huge baseball fan, but these guys have been fun to watch so far.
