The Yankees jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but
the Lynx fought right back with six runs of their own in the bottom of the
frame. Jason Jaramillo, Gary Burnham, Jim Rushford, Brennan King
and Chris Roberson each drove home at least a run in
the bottom of the first.
The Lynx offense never let up, as they scored two more in the 3rd inning on Joe Thurston's 2-RBI single. Thurston would drive in another run in the bottom of the 5th before the Lynx explosion in the crazy 8th inning. Gary Burnham drove in a run. Jim Rushford drove in two more. Carlos Leon cashed in another couple of runs to make the score 14-4. Joe Thurston capped off his night with another two runs batted in before Jason Jaramillo finished the scoring with another RBI.
All the offense overshadowed a stellar job by the Lynx bullpen, who kept the Yankees scoreless over the final 5.0 innings of the game. All told, the Lynx set new team-season-highs for hits in a game (17), runs in a game (17) and runs in an inning (8 in the 8th). Joe Thurston also set 2007 benchmarks with 4 hits, 3 runs scored and 5 runs batted in.
