La Mirada~One of the wonders of the game of baseball is, whenever you think you've seen it all, you know you never will.

In today's game,  the Matadores-in a crucial first-place battle with Mayfair looked like as if they were on their way to losing, with no momentum, as Mayfair was in control  2-0, through four innings.

With the Matadores batting in the bottom of the fifth and two outs, Andres Rodriguez struck out swinging, but the Mayfair catcher dropped the ball and allowed Rodriguez to reach first base-extending the inning.

The Matadores then scored 10 straight runs in the frame; and eventually going on to win 10-3.

The Matadores (15-8, 6-1),  now have sole possession of first place in the Suburban League, with five league games remaining.
