Quick Game Report...Nationals 9 Braves 8...DC Wins On Dukes' Walk-Off Walk!

Elijah Dukes vs Vladimir Nunez...Bases Loaded...2 Outs...Full Count...Ball Four. Dukes' Discerning Eye walks in a run after the two previous batters, Lastings Milledge and Ronnie Belliard failed to cash in a bases loaded, no out opportunity. Dukes' base on balls gives DC a 9-8 victory over Atlanta for the fifth-straight win at home with one more against the Braves tomorrow and then three with Philly to start the week.

Federalbaseball.com Almost Became Famous/Infamous... When I almost reached down for Jesus Flores' bases-clearing 3-run double in the fifth, which brought DC all the way back to tie it at 6-6, after the Nationals had originally trailed 4-0, then 4-2, and even fell behind at 6-2 before Flores' blast followed an RBI double by Belliard that had cut the lead to three..But what if I had reached down for it? I might have reached it and the first Replay call in DC Baseball history could have been inextricably linked to federalbaseball.com...Granted, I would have cost DC some runs and been kicked out to a chorus of boos from the DC Faithful which woyld've broken my heart...so i guess it's a good thing it was a game-tying double. There's always tomorrow...I'm going to one more then I'm going back home...I swear...but booing Philly fans does hold some appeal...Maybe I stay until DC loses?

Nationals now 51-85. (Countdown To 100 Losses STUCK At...15.)
