Extra inning thriller ends with homer
The Nationals rebounded from their 2 game losing streak Friday night with a thrilling walk-off victory in the 12th inning. Mike Morse homered off Ryan Madson to cap off a 4 run 12th inning to lead the Nats over Cincinnati, 7-4. The Nationals had led 3-0 up until the 7th inning until Chris Heisey doubled home a few runs and in the 9th inning, Brad Lidge blew his 2nd save of the season - hopefully a quick slump - and the Reds tied it in the 9th. Chien-Ming Wang came on in relief and went 3 innings and gave up another RBI double to Heisey in the 12th. Madson came out for the bottom of the 12th and the resilient Nats slapped around a few singles and Morse capped it with the homer. The Nationals stole 5 bases in the game and Morses home run was only the 2nd home run hit by a National 8 games into the year (Hernandez - game 2 @ CHC). The Nationals will face the Reds for game 3 of 4 in this series tomorrow afternoon at Nationals Park at 1:05 p.m. (Leake (1-0), 0.00 vs. Jackson (1-0, 1.13)).
