If we could score over 10 runs a game, we’d be fine. Bale gave up 5 runs in 2/3 of an inning to put us behind early. We got 2 back in the 4th, and took the lead by scoring 6 in the 5th. However, the Angels scored 2 in the 6th and 1 in the 8th, but we exploded for 7 in the 8th to run away with it. Scott Spiezio went 2-3 with 2 home runs, 3 runs scored, 5 RBIs, and 2 walks to lead us.
