Top of the First:

Jack Hinckley pops one up to 2nd, but Britt Snyder drops the ball! Hinckley gets caught stealing... Dave Risinger strikes out... This kid hit .270 with a .700 OPS as a rookie last year and is not hitting squat this year... Shannon Kuchta lines out to right.

Bottom of the First:
Britt Snyder swings at the first pitch of P Jeff Frith's career and grounds a hit to left. Eli Henderson flies out to the wall in center. Oscar Trejo flies out to left. Charlie Allen grounds out to 3rd!

Through three innings, we are 9 up and 9 down...

Bottom of the Third:

With 2 outs, Oscar Trejo doubles to right and then Charlie Allen hits a home run to straight away center... 2 to 0, Angels.

12 up, 12 down...

Top of the Fifth:
With 2 outs, Bill Wilson beats out and infield hit!!!! We have a base runner! But not Wilson, because he has hurt himself.... Pinch-Runner: Ricky Duarte (28-R), who will stay in the game to retrieve balls from the right field corner....

Bottom of the Fifth:
With 1 out, Eli Henderson draws a walk. He steals 2nd and C Jim Shippy throws the ball into center and Henderson goes to 3rd... Maybe Shippy is NOT an upgrade on Petitto... Oscar Trejo lines a hit to center and Henderson scores. 3 to 0, Angels.

Bottom of the Sixth:

With 1 out, Reid Phillips and Javier Rodriguez both single and we get the Bullpen up. P Mike Bennett swings away, but grounds out to 1st, 3-1, and the runners move up just like as if he had bunted. Britt Snyder lines a hit to right and Phillips scores and Rodriguez heads home, but RF Ricky Duarte throws him out! 4 to 0, Angels.

Top of the Eighth:

Ricky Duarte leads off with a hit. Juan Rojas grounds into a force at 2nd, 4-6. Jim Shippy doubles to left. PH Sergio Vallejo (26-R) grounds out to 3rd and Duarte scores!!! 4 to 1, Angels. Jack Hinckley swings at the first pitch and doubles down the left field line and Shippy scores! 4 to 2, Angels. Dave Risinger walks on 4 pitches. That does it for P Mike Bennett. New Pitcher: Hal Ockey (25-R), their closer with an 0.45 ERA in 20 IP. 6 BB and 21 SO. Shannon Kuchta hits the ball! He grounds out to 3rd.
