Seven runs, eleven hits and the series in Ostheim, two games to one.

Whitaker was not at his best and did not need to be. We were 2–0 up before he threw a pitch, after Osei and Pellegrini both singled and Haverkamp took a fastball off the wall in right, and 5–1 up after the fourth, when Okonjo hit a three-run home run onto the roof of the Millers' clubhouse.

The coach home was quiet, which is what a win on a Sunday afternoon does to forty people who also won on Friday. Somebody asleep in the back row snored through the whole of the A road. Nobody woke him.
