Pence figures out rally drum beat and helps Giants win series in top of the ninth

Apparently Gary Brown's head makes a great rally drum, Hunter Pence it seems will find any way to win a baseball game, even if it may be a bit abnoxious to his teammate Gray Brown you cannot scoff at results, especially in an uber superstitious sport like baseball. The revolutionary rally head drum seemed to aid the Giants in the top of the ninth score two runs at an all together perfect time.
The inning started with Panda earning a walk, Susac stuck out looking, then came the rally drum, aiding it seemed to Brandon Crawford's single to right, Brandon Belt had a great at bat laying of a beautiful 2-2 slider and earning a walk in the end loading the bases. Hunter Pence continued his rally drum for Matt Duffy who had an incredible at bat and singled to center scoring Panda and Crawford with one swing of the bat.
With the Dodgers getting stomped by the Rockies last night the Giants sit two games back from their rivals, and it seems like the upcoming visit to Los Angeles will decide the division.
The Giants pick up the win with only six hits, four of which were picked up by Brandon Crawford who is red hot going four of four for the game with an RBI and getting two runs in the game.
Casilla picked up his 17th save of the season, and Romo collected his sixth win, Matt Duffy or Duffman has no fear as a pinch hitter and his attitude shows he truly belongs in the big leagues.
Giants win the series even after losing the first game of three and continue to play like a team that isn't just content with the wild card berth that they have a 99% chance of earning, they seem hungry to steal the division from the Dodgers who at times in this season seemed to have it locked without any problem. Luckily for baseball fans we have a real race for the NL west here in late September, good pitching, smart defense, and good hitting are going decide this one, and what is better than that?
