And the Hits Just Keep on Coming!

Really, they did. Usually that phrase is used in a negative connotation, but last night we scored 10 runs in an inning with hit after hit.

We traveled up to the southwest corner of Iowa to play the Clarinda A's in a MINK league game. We were short some pitching and had to piecemeal the rotation a little bit to keep us in the ballgame. We trailed 5-3 going into the seventh inning and it looked like we were done for. Two of those runs were unearned scored with two out in the inning; one on an error and one on a fly ball lost in the lights. Frustrating from a coaching standpoint, but part of the game.

Then it happened. We had two great at-bats to start the seventh, earned by a hit and a walk. We loaded the bases and scored runs on a walk and hit batsman. Then the carousel started going and by the time the third out was recorded, the score was 15-5! We scored the ol' insurance run in the ninth, shut the door in the ninth, won 16-8 and brought our record to 3-2 in the MINK.

We're off today and open up a 4 game home stand this weekend. Keep checking the FCA website for game details. I'm also giving pre and post game interviews online during the live webcasts. Helps me work on media relations!
