Lou's 1st Inning Slam Leads Big Train's Past Bambino's
September 24th, 2002; Edison Field (AP)- It didn't take long for the Big Train to take control of the 6th double-annual Lp2 All-Star game. In the bottom of the first inning, Rich Aurilia (Bombers) booted Roberto Alomar's routine ground ball and the flood gates opened. After Mordecai Brown (Christians) retired Derek Jeter (Kings) on a ground out, Tris Speaker (Venoms) singled and Ted Williams's one out walk loaded the bases for right-fielder Sammy Sosa. After Brown threw a great pitch to Sosa, inducing a flyout for out number two, Lou Gehrig of the Kings stepped to the plate. With two outs and the sacks packed, Gehrig deposited a 2-1 fastball into the right field bleachers. "It was a low liner," said Brown, "I thought it was going to hit off the wall, but it just got over." The four runs supplied by Gehrig's slam was all Randy Johnson and the Big Train relievers needed. The Big Unit threw 3 scoreless innings, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 4. "It's always nice to go out there and pitch well against the best," said Johnson, "tonight I threw the ball well and was having a lot of fun. Hopefully I can continue that for the rest of the regular season." The Bambino's cut the lead in half in the 4th, thanks to a 2-run bomb off the bat of the Roller's Barry Bonds. "Man, did that ever land," said Greg Maddux who served up the gopher, "I guess he got the sweet spot on that one!" In the bottom half of the 4th, catcher Paul LoDuca answered with his own blast, off Chan Ho Park, to give the Big Train a 5-2 lead. Little did the fans know, LoDuca would be the last runner to cross the plate, as relievers from both sides put on a show, shutting each other down for the next 4+ innings. For the Big Train, Jeff Nelson, Bob Wickman, Pedro Martinez, Sean Lowe, Roy Oswalt, Danys Baez, Christy Mathewson, John Smoltz and Rob Nen threw a combined 4.1 innings of hitless ball, allowing just a Wickman walk to Babe Ruth. "They were on," said Jeff Zimmerman, who didn't get to see any action, "they've got some great relievers over there." The Bambino relievers did their part as well, as Tom Seaver, Mark Buehrle, Tim Wakefield, Mark Mulder and Kevin Brown threw 4 shutout innings, allowing just 2 hits. "I'm glad we got to them early," said catcher Toby Hall of the Gamblers, "those guys shut us down the entire second half of the game." Relievers Zimmerman, Bob Gibson and Keith Foulke were the only All-Stars not to see action. "We were saving them for the 9th and beyond," said the coach, "it's tough to get all those guys in not knowing if the 9th will be played or not." The Big Train's victory was the first since the inaugural All-Star game. They had lost 4 All-Star games in a row.
