2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 3, Nationals @ Dodgers

So this one won’t be a sweep. There will be at least 2 games at the Dodgers (92 – 72) and if the Nationals (96 – 68) can eek out a win in either of them they’ll finish up at home.

The story of the game was the 3 RBI HR in the 4th Inning by backup catcher Jose Lobaton who’s not known for his bat and rarely plays at all. Daniel Murphy came up with 2 RBIs and there is your scoring on the winning side.

Yesterday’s Game

Top 1st- Solo Shot. Dodgers 1 – 0.

Top 3rd- Walk. Single. RBI Single. Dodgers 2 – 0.

Bottom 4th- Leadoff Walk. HBP. 3 RBI HR. Nationals 3 – 2.

Bottom 5th- Single. Stolen Base. Single, Runners at Corners. RBI Single. Nationals 4 – 2.

Bottom 7th- Double. RBI Single. Nationals 5 – 2.

Series Tied at 1

For the Nationals to win today they’ll have to have continued production from Murphy who was a not too shabby Metropolitan in last year’s Championship campaign.

The Dodgers will be sending out Kenta Maeda (R, 16 – 11, 3.48 ERA) who is easily the better pitcher (though not an ace by any stretch of the imagination. The Nationals will counter with Gio González (L, 11 – 11, 4.57 ERA) who’s much stronger against the Dodgers than his numbers indicate and is a Lefty which gives them fits whenever they face one.
