Hall leading off, after trying to bunt for a single he popped up to shortstop. Out #1
M.Green (.190) behind early in the count, battled well - fouling off several pitches before flying out to left. Out #2
L.Davidson worked pitcher to a full count before flying out to center to end the inning.
Their pitcher is approaching 80 pitches. His fastball started the game in the mid to upper 80’s . . . It is hanging around 77mph now. He is gassed.
