Chopper from Travis. Tough play, error at 2B. Gets on base. one on, none out. Passed ball moves Travis to second. Now Torss drag bunts. They fail to make the play at first, and it goes as a hit. Runners on the corners, no out. And Belt does agreat safety squeeze. 1-0 !!!! Great small ball. Tant fly ball moves Torres to third. 2 out. After a walk, a K ends the innings. 1-0 to top 2nd.
Great one-out at-bat by Torres. 7 pitches and he hits asingle up the middle. 2nd hit for us. oooh, belt hits one a longway but caught at the wall. 1 on, 2 out. orres steals. They make tough long throw to first and gets the third out.
At least we have made Morris make 53 pitches through three innings. 1-0 we lead, to top of 4th.
Bot 5th. Tucker walks. Tucker caught stealing. Torres double. Torres steal third. 1 out, 1 on. Yikes, Belt hits it to the worst place, stright to first. Torres has to hold at 3rd. 2 out. AJ gets his second K. We ere very efficient till there, as the K total would show, but things didn't wrk in the last two at-bats, as AJ Morris pitched great there.
1-out solo homer .. and another solo homer. 2-2 after Ruffin had retired 9 in a row, before those homers on back-to-back pitches. OH DAMN.. 2-2 just like that.
Ruffin gets two flyouts and we have a brand new ball game. 2-2 to bt 6th.
The good thing is that we hve made Morris throw 86 pitches through 5 innings, by my count. He may be around only for an inning or two more.
On to 8th. 2-2 tied. Damn, I have to leave. Why the heck did Chance have to throw those two bad piches. I could have left happily otherwise. Damn, damn.
