O Rae walks and advances on a WP. Adams strikes out looking on a borderline fastball at the top of the zone. Rodriguez (the catcher) is hit with a 97 MPH fastball by R£odriguez (the pitcher). Hall then pops up sky high and the infield fly is called. 2 outs and Chirinos to bat. Can we get something going?
Nope. Double steal and Rodriguez is mowed down at second. To the 9th
8th Yerlin Rodriguez pitching. First guy grounds out. Secind guy walks. He tries to steal and Cedeño (the batter) avoids the pitch inside and stumbles over the plate as Rodriguez(Catcher) throws to second. Ump rules interference so Cedeño is out and the runner returns to first. Rodriguez then strikes out Ethan Salas as he foult tips a breaking ball into the mitt
Chirinos walks and advances on a wild pitch as Fernandez strikes out. Vargas hits a ball really hard but right at the right fielder. Barrios with a soft grounder that eats up the shortstop as the ball bounces off his glove up in the air and to second base. Chirinos gets to third. Areinamo with a high fly to right. Another lost opportunity as we head to the 8th
Fitzpatrick almost takes one to the head on a liner but narrowly avoids it. A run scores in the inning and he has 2 on with 1 out but he strikes out the last two batters on full counts get out of it.
Rattlers score one from a HBP, BB, double steal and sac fly. Tayden Hall strikes out looking with Luke Adams at third to end the inning. Rattlers trail 2-1 into the 7th
Rattler bats are quiet today.
Top of the 6th Fitzpatrick replaces Rund. Strikes out the first man with a nasty breaking ball. Doershing flies out to ORae in the deepest part of centerfield for the second out. Fitzpatrick walks the next guy on four pitches but strikesout the next to get out of it. Tincaps with deep counts today. It took Fitzpatrick 23 pitches to get through the inning
