Last Call for Baseball!
It wold be a shame to lose this one. We are currently on a 10 game winning streak.
Dan Butler, K.C. (27-4.7) (R 23-17 2.49 8.6-1.8-4.4 H-BB-K/9) vs. Tom Lee, Omaha (26-6.0) (R 35-8 1.79 6.3-1.3-6.4)
Lost - 3 to 2
Lee allowed 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 8.
Butler allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out no one.
We made 5 errors and the Cowboys made 3.
C Charlie LeFevre (30-5.0) hit a double. They ran like the devil on him, trying to steal 9 times. He nailed 3, but also threw the ball away 3 times. He's been cold as ice as a hitter for the last month and a half, too. CF Abe Cupp (23-4.7) had a hit, a walk, stole 2 bases, scored 2 runs and made a superb catch, but got thrown out trying to make it to third from first on a single to right, killing our chances of tying the game. 3B Ben Dennis (29-5.4) had 3 hits with a triple and 2 RBIs. He has really fielded well and has hit over .300 for the last month and a half.
Bring on those Red Caps!
