Baumann hits grand slam off Igawa
The chant here at Legends Field? That'd be "U-S-F, U-S-F!"
Pinch-hitter Eric Baumann found himself in a great position, as two walks and a hit batsmen had loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth inning. On a 1-2 pitch from reliever Kei Igawa, the senior catcher from Armwood hit a grand slam over the fence in left field, cutting the Yankees' lead to 9-4.
The Bulls are probably still losing this one, but somebody now can tell their grandkids they did a lot more than just play against the Yankees.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
Wow, nice job.

You always seem to find the nicest things to say, Ari. Give the kid no credit, huh? Congrats to the kid on the grand slam and I hope the USF guys had a good time. GO BULLS!

Igawa pitched in single A Tampa last year. Could be the worst signee in the history of MLB..
but none the less -- nice job kid.

That's right Ari you're entitled to your opinion. My opinion, you are a jerk with a capital J!

My opinion is that you are a douchebag, with a capital D!

Bravo to the BULLS! Hope we win.

Good for the kid. But the one thing all us Yankee fans have in common is that we know Kei Igawa is a rubber arm.
