Yesterday’s Hitting Duel

The full-story game recap is available here for yesterday’s wild contest.

This was ugly… but at the same time, the lineup took full advantage of the pitching that they had in front of them.  Notably, the bottom of the lineup (wrapped around to Ender Inciarte) was key.

Flowers, Santana, Camargo, and Inciarte combined to scored 12 of the 13 runs and whacked 11 hits in the process.

Very nicely done.
