(or the series, for that matter) for the heroes, who fell behind 1 game to none, danielle hennon and greg lackey posted identical 5 for 7, 2 rbi lines, while the latter tipped in a pair of double plays. knight tipped in 4 d.p.'s. TEAM DONKEY PUNCH 18 JUKEBOX HERO 0 (6 INNINGS) a jukebox roster that, on paper, looks to be as good as any sported by the yellow mesh army in the past few weeks were blown out in 6 innings in a game eerily reminiscent of what donkey punch (then the transexual heartbreakers) was able to do last postseason. neither all-star kip corbett or defending homerun champ lee nespor were able to collect a hit. 4-year veteran lenny crist didn't reach base, either. in fact, the only hit for jukebox all game was a 3rd inning single by xdeathx's jason betts. on the other side of the field, donkey punch couldn't miss. after going down 1-2-3 in the top of the first, punch scored in each of the final 5 innings. leading the attack was pat lackey who, obviously looking to prove those grumbling about his all-star status wrong, hit 8 of his 10 shots and drove in 4. moroco and clayton both hit safely 4 times, with the latter driving in 3 and tipping in 2 double plays and an assist. 4 of kurt rodemoyer's 5 shots were homers, helping him drive in 9 runs. the only other stat of recognition for jukebox was betts' second-inning psyche-out of crist. no double plays, no homers, no rbi's, no chance of winning. the victory marks clayton and rodemoyer's 6th consecutive playoff win, their last defeat coming in the first game of last season's second round.
