I still can't see why Vaughan insists on batting at no.3 - in fact if he wasn't the captain, he wouldn't be in the team at all. But while Freddie's firing on all cylinders there's still a bit of hope left. Reminds me of a young Botham! |

Vaughan gets a single, bases loaded from the two previous singles, and the pitcher walks Freddie so that they get one run instead of the four a homer would bring. Simply good strategy, I'd say. |
