Musial allows Rollers to "Walk" Away from Pither's Duel up 2-0

Game 2 was dominated by the starters Mike Mussina for the Flashes, and Brandon Webb for the Rollers, but Stan Musial again provided Ybor City with the margin of victory.

Just like Game 1, Grady Sizemore drove in the Finger Lakes Flashes first run in the first inning, this time with a solo homerun to right. The Flashes stretched the lead to 2-0 in the third when Sizemore tripled and was driven home by Wily Mo Pena. Webb settled down from that moment on, scattering just two hits over the rest of his seven innings, finishing the game with seven strikeouts. His offense got him back in the game in the bottom of the third, on RBI hits from Joe Mauer and Miguel Cabrera.

Mussina matched Webb scoreless frame for scoreless frame, exiting after six solid innings, allowing just the two runs on seven hits. Flame throwing righthander Joel Zumaya shut down the Rollers offense for two innings, fanning three, before giving way to Brian Fuentes in the ninth.

Pinch hitter Josh Bard got Ybor going with a one out single, before Fuentes got Josh Willingham to strike out for the second out. Mauer and Musial struck again for the Rollers, as they followed with back-to-back singles off the lefty, the second single driving in Bard for a 3-2 Rollers victory.
In the celebration that followed, Musial had to be helped from the field, the injury did not seem serious and he should be able to start Game 3, when the series travels to Yankee Stadium for a pitching matchup of Carlos Zambrano for the Flashes against Javier Vazquez for the Rollers.
