Milledge must've told Easley to look silly in that AB last inning so that he can pull us ahead right here. Edit: NVM. You fail me L-Millz.
I guess Willie was anticipating a fail for Newhan, leaving Gotay available for a situation later where there was a runner on for Gotay... or something.
pretty much only thing he could be thinking, of coruse with sele coming in now, i dont think we see the 9th slot again
