#7 batter struck out. One down.
#8 batter grounded out to SS. Two down.
#9 batter flied out. Ball game!
This one was too close for comfort and almost wasted another great start by Garcia.
Game Ball #1: Roel Garcia (W, 3-1, 7.0 IP, 6 hits, 2 runs, 2 BBs, 7 Ks)-- set career highs in innings and strikeouts. Allowed only one baserunner after the third inning.
Game Ball #2: Brandt Frazier (1-3, HR#1, BB, run, RBI)-- for notching his first career HR, throwing out a baserunner and handling the pitching staff.
Game Ball #3: Dane Acker (Save, 2.0 IP, 0 hits, 0 runs, 1 BB, 1 K)-- for closing it out with drama in the 9th inning, and preserving the win for Garcia.
Let's get the offense back on track tomorrow, and go on our first 3-game win streak of the season. Go Owls!
