If Thursday's Game Were a Movie...

it would be:

This early Speilberg made for TV classic starred Dennis Weaver, a semi-truck, a very few words.

Marwin Vega was good. Carlos Rosa was better.

Tonight, the Rattlers were the truck driver and the Bees were Dennis Weaver.

The Rattlers had a runner at third with one out in the sixth inning and Burlington got out of the inning, the equivalent to Dennis Weaver getting out of the phone booth just before the semi crashed into it.

Brady Everett's homer in the seventh was Weaver getting the car to the top of the hill and getting away for a moment.

Burlington turning the 8-4 double play in the eighth was Weaver getting away at the end of the movie.
