The script was a little different for this game: Our starter got shelled and was out in the third, so one of our lesser-used long relief guys got some time. Then I got called in with two outs in the sixth and the bases empty.
My outing couldn't have been any better: Seven up, seven down on two easy flyouts, four routine grounders and one soft grounder to second that was the only tough play. I didn't have my best control (16 strikes in 28 pitches) but I made good pitches when behind in the count and my stuff had good life again.
I'm starting to build momentum for a possible major league bullpen spot. Porter was all smiles when he came to get me ... I think he's one of my biggest supporters and wants me on the club.
SPRING STATS: 8 1/3 innings, 6 hits, 1 run, 0 walks, 1 K, 1.08 ERA
