Game One Box (vs Rhodes)

A pitcher's duel went to the Lynx in game one as Rhodes won 4-3, scoring two in the ninth to get the win. Rhodes struck first, scoring on a single in the fourth to grab the early lead. The Lynx played the same tune again in the sixth, using two singles and a walk to go up 2-0. 

Millsaps began chipping away at the lead in the bottom of the sixth. After loading the bases, Lee Ogletree hit a sacrifice fly just deep enough in center to score Keith Shumaker. The Majors broke through for two in the eighth to take the lead, using hits from Annon Etheridge and Ogletree to do so. Etheridge was thrown out at the plate on Ogletree's hit, which proved to be a key play in the ball game. 

The Lynx loaded the bases on Shumaker in the ninth and tied the game on a passed ball. Marcus Moreland then delivered what proved to be the game-winning hit, driving in the go ahead run. Millsaps went down in order in their half of the ninth and dropped another tight one to the Lynx.
