The Big Pink Machine took a very late lead when Mark Trumbo hit a 13th inning walk off (that means the team in the field has to walk off in shame according to the term's creator Dennis Eckersley - Thanks Bob for that history lesson...) home run against the Detroit Tigers.
The Flemingos now lead their arch-rival Fungoes by 5.5-4.5.
Of course, the Fungoes might have some late inning fireworks of their own - they have Ben Revere and Dominic Brown playing in the Sunday night game. And Alcides Escobar is still playing in the 8th inning (tied 4-4) of the second game of the Boston vs. Kansas City doubleheader (along with Flemingos Hosmer and Middlebrooks who might increase our lead). It would be especially ironic if Flemingo Hosmer were to drive in Fungoe Escobar with the SLUBA winning run tonight...
A Fungoe home run, or a couple runs scored, or four stolen bases by these players would give them the win. Flemingo fans will be watching these games with held breaths...
