E6 but that was tough on the mid hop and shield by runner. Pop up to 2B for infield fly rule out. And that will do it for Big Russ at 74 pitches. Leaves with bases loaded and two outs.
Drew Hill takes the mound. Not RS Senior Dalton Brown. Encouraging outing for Smith. Standing O after being pulled. And Hill messes up a routine grounder for a deflected infield hit. 6-2 Edit—would have been routine for Sacco. And Hill Ks the next hitter to end the threat. Should be Smith with 4.2 innings...two hits and one earned run.
Infield single for Wolfe. If SS plays him deep he better have a cannon for an arm. Wasn’t really even that close. And Wolfe steals 2B far too easily. Shep Ks looking. Hmmm. And Hump Ks looking. Hmmmm
Lead off HBP. Cmon Drew! And then a really nifty 543 twin killing. Just what the doctor ordered. Thought Shep was gonna take just one. Four pitch half inning??? Maybe 5 at most????
Single for Sikes. Bottom of this order is doing some work. E1 on bad pickoff and Sikes at 2B. Porter looks real bad on bunt attempt but grounds to pitcher and starts the pickle. Sacco lines out to RF and Porter advances. 5-3 ends the threat. Head to 7 up 8-2
