Once again, our pitching came out strong to start the second game of the series, with Burt Hooton holding Block Chain hitless through the first 5 innings. His luck ran out in the top of the 6th, however, as he gave up 5 runs on a pair of home runs and left after recording just one out.
We still trailed 5-3 in the bottom of the 8th before breaking out for a 6-run inning to turn the tide. The big hit came from Kal Daniels for the second straight game, a grand slam this time. If you’re going to give up a big inning, you might as well return the favor.
Jack Bauer Squared improved to 4-1 and for the moment sits alone atop the division. Sure, it’s great to start off well, but there are still 157 to play.
