In game two of this weekend’s much-ballyhooed Freeway Series, base hits were still in short supply as they were in Friday night’s tilt, and the scoring was minimal, showing us that these two so cal megalopolis teams are quite well matched and capable of putting on some nail-biters. The Dodgers and Angels both had four hits, and starters Ross Stripling and Deck McGuire (the latter being a fill-in arm and thus needing the help of his reliever core, of course) were in no mood to let things get out of hand.
Sadly, the bigger plays would fall in the favor of the boorish Dodgers, who put two on the scoreboard via Justin Turner’s two-run single off of reliever Taylor Cole in the fifth.
