Nine innings on the LA Dodger diamond felt like 10 minutes compared to the time a high school game takes in five innings. It was cool evening on Memorial Day in Down Town Los Angeles with a nice breeze at the bottom of the bowl of 30,000 fans and with a 'happy ending' to boot. The Diamond Back's pitcher balked to walk a run in for a Dodger win in the ninth inning with two outs. Usually professional players do not show a lot of emotion in a game but this unexpected win was something to shout about.
