Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:
Now that's a rally! We sleepwalk our way to a 6-run deficit. Then Bull jumpstarts the comeback with a dinger in the 6th and Torre goes back to back. We come into the bottom of the 9th still down 6-5 and Bull detonates another bomb to tie it. We load them up and pinch-hitter Wynn hits a flyball to Geronimo. He drops it and pinch-runner Martin dances home for the win. I think Geronimo was anticipating a close play at home with Martin who was going to tag up and he didn't look the ball into his glove. The place went bananas! I was happy to see Koosman come out for the 9th. I've been in Chris McLaughlin's position and I know how tempting it is to let an A-list pitcher try to secure a complete game win. But Koosman was gassed and we had really started to bang him around. I've gotta mention Tom Walker's contribution - 3 and a third of hitless relief to keep us within hailing distance. The win went to Reed but Walker sure as hell deserved it.
