After striking out Craig Paquette and Jim Edmonds, a pumped-up Leskanic threw several borderline pitches during a tense battle with Clark. There were a couple close ones. It's a tough call. I've got to stand there and take it like a man. You can't let opportunities like we had slip away.
Lopes knows the feeling.
Outhit, 9-7, the Brewers stranded 12 men on base, including runners in scoring position in the seventh, eighth and 10th innings. A base hit at the right time in several situations, and we wouldn't have had to go into extra innings. Ankiel gave up four walks, threw a wild pitch and gave up a two-out double to Richie Sexson. The Brewers parlayed their good fortune into one run. Brewers starter Jimmy Haynes and relievers Valerio De Los Santos, Juan Acevedo and Ray King limited the visitors to a run, three walks and eight hits over the first 10 innings.
