Marty Eades grounds out to 3rd, leaving yet another RBI on the bases. Our offensive woes are mostly caused by him not hitting with runners in scoring position and Ray McDonald not hitting at any time.... And also by our base runners getting thrown out all the time and not stealing when it is called for and trying to steal when it is not....

Bottom of the Third:
Danny Stewart takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4 and P Dale Gilchrist bunts him to 2nd. With 2 outs, Cal Doty swings at the first pitch and grounds our first hit of the game up the middle and Stewart scores! 1 to 0, Jays!

Top of the Ninth;
