Rice lead cut in half, 2-1 in 6th

By Eric Sorenson - February 09, 2007

Rice when through three pitchers in the sixth inning and Pedro Alvarez finally lived up to his Player of the Year candidacy.

Glenn Tanner and I were just remarking at how poor of a game Alvarez had played so far, going a weak 0-for-2 at the plate and making a blundering error at third that helped lead to two Owl runs. But here in the 6th, Alvarez sliced a sharp RBI single off reliever Jonathan Runnells to make it 2-1.
