Comeback saves Hoffman's 9th
The Crew spent most of the night battling back in this game that occurred while I was recovering from a 100 mile ride in Logan.  Down 2 in the 9th and facing Giants closer Brian Wilson, Craig Counsell singled with 1 down, Gamel walked and Hart scored Counsell on a single to center.  J.J. Hardy's RBI tied things up and Prince finished the game with a double to right. 
 
The game was tied in the 9th, but Trevor Hoffman gave up 3 consecutive singles and 2 sac flys to give SF the lead.  That tie was earned on back-to-back taters in the 6th by Fielder and Casey McGehee.  Those runs helped get Seth McClung off the hook, who did a decent job in his first start of the season: 3 runs in 4 innings. Chris Smith, Todd Coffey and Mitch Stetter combined for 4 innings of 1 run ball with 0 walks. 
 
Proving again why a center fielder makes a difference, Mike Cameron robbed Nate Schierholtz of a home run in the 7th, which proves glove work can be a tradeoff for a .243 hitter.  It's too bad though that his offense has dropped off, because early in the season, he really looked like he would put up some good offensive numbers this season.
