It's a Raccoons road game on NWSN!

Play-by-play Cole Swatter: ...and with one half of the Thunder still discussing with the first base umpire, the other half is talking composure with Dan Jerge on the mound.

Guest color commentator Carl Bean: Yeah, you hate that to happen to you. The run was going to score anyway, but now he has Fowler on first base rather than two outs and nobody on.

Swatter: Andy Schmit also looking guilty after that bad throw that bounced in and out of Cruz' glove...

Bean: That will give a runner to Avakian.

Swatter: Please no more double plays ...!

Bean: God, no.

Swatter: It's Raccoons 3, Thunder nothing, in the third inning, and Adam Avakian is up next, oh-for-one today. He entered the day batting .258 with one dinger and seven RBI.

Bean: Maybe that's his lucky break. I tell ya, as a pitcher, these bad throws that put the extra guy on, something always seems to happen after those ... I have seen it my fair share.

Swatter: Jerge trying to climb out of a mess here, needs a good groundball to feel good about himself again. [Avakian rakes at the pitch] Oh!

Bean: Momma!

Swatter: Deep fly to right, and there is no doubt about this one! Out and away for Adam Avakian, who homered on Opening Day and not once in the 42 games since. He circles the bases and drops weights of his shoulders left and right...!

Bean (laughs): I feel with the pitcher here, but -

Swatter: Not a good pitch.

Bean: No, not a good pitch. I threw plenty of those stinkers in my days.

Swatter: Raccoons 5, Thunder zip, and maybe the Gordian knot around Avakian's neck is broken for good now...
