Does anybody remember a rainout-scheduled double header versus the Rockies (IIRC) one of the last remaining years of Cinergy field?
I had tickets to the game(s) and remember that the Reds won the first game, but were getting pummelled pretty good late in the second game. In either the 7th or 8th inning, the Reds sent like 11 batters to the plate and came all the way back to sweep the double header. I believe that Hal Morris had a monster day at the plate.
Edited: Oops! So much for thinking the game was played in one of the final years at Cinergy. I just found the box score and it was nearly 10 years ago. Man, it seems like it was just yesterday....
