COLUMBUS, Ohio - True freshman Brad Hallberg, from Barron, Wisc., hit a walk-off, grand slam home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Team Gray a thrilling, 11-8, come-from-behind win over Team Scarlet in Game 2 of the Scarlet and Gray World Series Tuesday at Bill Davis Stadium. The championship game of the series will be played Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. The Diamond Club?s annual BBQ picnic will start at 6 p.m.
Although starting pitchers Eric Best and Alex Wimmers kept things quiet at the start, with just one run scored through three innings, this game turned into a thriller with five ties and lead changes. The ending, in fact, would have prompted a mighty 'HOLY COW' if Harry Caray were in the park. The finish was that good. It was a Scarlet and Gray World Series October classic...at Bill Davis Stadium.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Gwen Stefani, former lead singer of the rock group No Doubt, was not in Bill Davis Stadium Wednesday night, but there were two no-doubt home runs for Team Scarlet that sparked its series-clinching, 7-4, victory over Team Gray in the deciding game of the annual Scarlet and Gray World Series.
Matt Streng, a junior infielder from Upper Arlington hit a two-out blast deep into right field in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull Scarlet back into the lead at 6-4 after the Gray had taken a 4-2 lead in the fifth inning. Then in the sixth inning Ryan Dew, a junior outfielder from Croton, Ohio, sent a laser of a shot into right field to extend the lead to 7-4.

I was encouraged by the way we hit the ball. We have got to get some power in this lineup.
