Don’t know…should have been. Then again, I’m not sure why Burckel got an error on the ball that went under his glove last night as it was to his backhand and he was sprinting over to get it.

Bottom 2nd

3 straight singles by Davis, Lockhart, and Hyland to leadoff the inning loads the bases.

2Ks and a groundout to SS end the inning. 2nd straight night loading the bases with no outs and not scoring a run.
