Highlights at 11

As tonight's Sky(gak)Chiefs-Tides game was spectacular:

Two triples, one by each team.

A Baltimore chop, successful one.

A grand slam.

Tides (and recent B-Mets) second baseman Anderson Hernandez was covering first on a bunt attempt and the knocked skyward by the runner, landing splat like a piece of roadkill. Thought for a moment that he had been knocked unconscious, but they got him rolled over and sitting up, and back out into position. He kept checking his teeth and lower lip for a while.

The Chiefs were comfortably in the lead 13-4, but the balance of the game shifted in the later innings and the Tides got as close as 13-11, threatened in the eighth and ninth. Final score 14-11.
