Game 4 Gems

Roy Halliday was good, but Jake Peavy was better. Peavy scored 32 points by my unofficial count, including 13 strikeouts, easily covering Halliday's 16. Gerry added only two more points by Trevor Hoffman making the final score 60-45 and giving Dale a historic victory in the first FNFT playoff, three games to one. Dale will advance to the FNFT World Series; his third appearance in the last six seasons.

In the other game, Armando Galarraga posted a respectable 15 points for Connor. He also gets 8 from Francisco Cordero bringing his current game total to 69. Kevin Youkalis sat for the second straight day (don't know why). Connor also gets points from Jeff Kent tonight. Jake sits at 49 going into tonight's game with Brandon Webb on the hill. Connor wins a tie breaker on Jayson Werth's 21, meaning that Webb must outscore Kent by 21 in order for Jake to win the game and the series. If not, Connor will force a fifth and deciding game on Tuesday.

I'll probably post live updates tonight.
