At least for one evening, the Pronk Mojo was workin', as the Indians staged a mighty displya of Pronkitude with a dramatic come from behind rally for 5 runs in the 9th to beat the A's last night 8-5.
With the two outs, Pronk smashed a two-run linedrive double in the right centerfield gap to score pinch-runner Ben Francisco with the tying run from first base. After the A's intentionally walked Jhonny Peralta, Pronk scored the winning run on Kelly Shoppach's 3-run home run which followed.
Coupled with a Detroit loss (Todd Jones blew another save), the Indians are now back in a first place tie with the Motor City Kitties.
Overall on the evening, Pronk was 1 for 3 with a walk, 3 RBI (he drove in a run earlier on a groundout) and a run scored. Pronk had a chance to be the hero earlier in the game, having made an appearance in the 7th with the bases loaded only to hit the ball on the nose, but right at the centerfielder. Pronk also hit the ball hard in the fifth, but this time right at the left fielder. It's good to see Pronk driving the ball now. Maybe, just maybe, Pronk's Mojo is back.

At Pronk Needs You!, we have established the Elvis-based mojo scale as a way to measure observable trends, inspired by the classic hit song by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper, "Elvis is Everywhere."

Amazing game by everyone last night, and it seems that Pronk, given his two night in a row mashing, is back on the rise.
