Dunlap should enlist the help of Michael Aquino to learn to hit the offspeed pitch. Not surprisingly he's now seeing nothing but.

Dropped ground ball turns Proctor's double play ball into a FC. Then Myers out at first on his bunt.

After 6
2-8-4
5-9-0

Damage limited to just one run, as Kendal gives up a sac fly, then strands the runner at 2B with a strikeoutK. Let's continuing pummelling SHS's bullpen...

New SHS pitcher, Sr LHP Nixon (1o app, 1-2, 9.1 IP, 3.86 ERA, .389 BAA, 14 hits, 2 BBs, 6 Ks). This guy has been hit hard...
Dunlap pinch hitting for Wunderlich...struck out. Ugh.
Chandler bunt single. Runner on 1B, one out.
Proctor forced Ryan at 2B. Runner on 1B, two outs.
Myers bunted to P. ??? Against a LHP with a .389 BAA? You've got to be kidding.

Good guys lead 5-2 heading to the top of the seventh inning.

Staab now playing LF.

4 pitch leadoff walk.

Yet another leadoff baserunner, by walk this time. Wayne must be pulling his hair out.

Jefferies all over the place

Sac bunt moves him over

Successful bunt. Runner 2nd, 1 out.

F8, now 2 outs

Like I said, all over the place. Now HBP Wayne heading out for a chat.

Bearkats on 1B and 2B with 2 outs

Graham out to the mound after the HBP. I'd guess it was a request to stop pitching around the batters.

Sam wins a long battle, slicing a ground rule double that cuts lead to 5-3. Bearkats now on 2B and 3B with 2 outs. Really a good AB, fouling off a ton of pitches.

Yet another bullpen meltdown. Some one-- any one-- other than Otto has to step up.

Who else do we have in the pen?

Dane coming in to pitch (trick question, since he wasn't in the pen!)

Myers will now pitch. Count is 2-1. Jefferies will play 3rd.

Well, there's still Esquivel, Orewiler and Solecitto, but all three have had multiple poor outings in a row.

And Dane completes the walk to load the bases...
