This was too interesting of a game to be kept on a lame scoresheet. This sheet maximized space by only allowing six plate appearances for each lineup slot and not dividing by innings, in the Project Scoresheet style, but using traditional scoring. The Yankees scored six in the fourth to take a 8-3 lead, and the teams traded single tallies in the fifth. The Indians scored one in the sixth to cut it to 9-5, and then put up a seven run-seventh, lighting up David Robertson for three runs and Joba Chamberlain for four.
This game is a great example of why I prefer a 9x9 grid, despite all the wasted space. It is hard to follow innings in writing a story of the game without columns to make them stand out. Some notable items:
* Alex Rodriguez literally knocked David Huff out of the game with a line drove double off him in the third
* Shin-Soo Choo was 0-6, without his first four at bats consisting of two pitches or less
* Despite twenty-four total runs, the only homer was delivered by Russell Branyan in the eighth
* Lou Marson drove in three runs on three doubles
