SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- When Michael Morse stops playing baseball, whether it's sooner or later, he'll have squeezed every last drop of joy from the game and savored it.
Morse's two-run, seventh-inning homer in the Giants' 6-5 victory on Wednesday over Puerto Rico's World Baseball Classic team began a scoring surge that ended with Chris Marrero's two-run, walk-off homer in the ninth.
Both players are here to prove that they can provide power. But while Marrero has three Cactus League homers besides Wednesday's (which doesn't count toward those statistics), Morse's long ball was his first in 17 overall at-bats.
