Top 2nd
Lockhart gets the 1st 2 outs but has walked the bases loaded. He’s getting squeezed and Rooney gets warned after a couple of close misses to the next batter. Lockhart comes back and gets a fly out to escape.
Bottom 2nd
Davis and Bielo with back to back singles to leadoff the inning and Coldiron walks with 2 outs to load the bases. Redden is robbed by the 3B who makes a diving play and throws him out at 1st.
