Glaus' walk-off shot gives Cards the win
Baseball Betting Lines
07/03/2008 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Troy Glaus drilled two home runs, including
the game-winning solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals an 8-7 win over the New York Mets in the third meeting of a
four-game set.
Glaus finished with four RBI, while Rick Ankiel homered and drove in a pair in
the Cardinals' fourth win in their last five games. Chris Duncan drilled a
pinch-hit, two-run long ball to tie the game in the eighth for the victors.
Glaus' blast made a winner of Ryan Franklin (3-2), who tossed a perfect ninth.
Starter Joel Pineiro was bounced around for 11 hits and four runs in five
innings of work for St. Louis.
Carlos Muniz (0-1) was saddled with the loss after surrendering the ninth-
inning home run, and Pedro Martinez took a no-decision after allowing five
runs on seven hits through five innings with four strikeouts and a walk.
Jose Reyes, David Wright and Damion Easley each tallied three hits for the
Mets, with Easley bringing in three runs in defeat for the Mets, who have
dropped two of the first three games of the series.
After Duncan's two-run homer tied the game in the eighth, Glaus sent the
Cardinals faithful home happy, slamming Muniz's payoff pitch over the wall in
left for his 13th home run of the season.
A four-run first put the Mets in the hole early, as Skip Schumaker and Aaron
Miles recorded back-to-back singles off Martinez to start the game. After
Ankiel's one-out RBI single, Glaus powered a shot over the wall in center for
a three-run homer to cap the big inning.
New York came back with a three-spot in the third behind an RBI double up the
middle from Carlos Beltran and a two-out, bases-loaded single to left-center
by Easley.
The visitors tied it up an inning later when Schumaker air-mailed a
throw home on an attempted throw home to nab Jose Reyes, who tripled and
scored on the error.
A 47-minute rain delay in the middle of the third seemed to settle Martinez
down, but in the fifth Ankiel took a 1-1 offering of his into the right field
seats to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead.
With the one-run lead Kyle McClellan walked Wright and got Beltran to pop out
before Mark Mulder was called upon in the seventh. Ryan Church blooped a
single to left and a wild pitch put a pair in scoring position for Carlos
Delgado, who came through with an RBI single up the middle to tie the game at
five.
Easley lofted a sacrifice fly to left for the go-ahead run, and with runners
on first and second, pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis singled in front of a diving
Ryan Ludwick in right to bring in a run and give the Mets a 7-5 lead.
The lead didn't hold, however, as Aaron Heilman was pulled after hitting
Ludwick with a pitch to start the home eighth. Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa
called upon Duncan to pinch-hit, and the reserve turned on Pedro Feliciano's
first offering and placed it in the right field seats to tie the game.

MySportsbook.com Posts Odds on 2007 Heisman Trophy
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best odds of winning the 2007 Heisman Trophy at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
