MAVERICK HANDLEY!!! B7 was looking like trouble as a solo HR cut the lead to 5-2 and back-to-back walks with one down had the Devils in business. But Handley back picks the runner off first and two pitches later Grech gets the strikeout to end the rally.
Have a feeling we might need some more runs from the offense to close this one out.
No runs for the Card in T8 but it wasn’t without drama. ASU skipper Tracy Smith got ejected for arguing a safe/out call at first that looked as though the umps got right. Next batter is Kinamon who hit a ball down the RF line that was ruled foul but was awfully close. Daschbach likely would’ve scored on the play, instead Kinamon flies out to RF to end the inning.
Grech back out to work the 8th. Tawa, Grech and Kinamon with a trio of strong defensive plays to sit the Devils down in order. Impressive work yet again from Grech, especially considering how many pitches he threw last night. Will be interesting to see who Esquer calls upon for the 9th. Have to think that Little is unavailable and Grech has pitched a ton the past two nights. Maybe Jensen? Would definitely be the highest leverage situation of his young career.
Tawa continues his strong night with a leadoff double. Bellafronto bunts him over to 3rd and Robinson will get to bat with the infield drawn in. Insurance run would obviously be brobdingnagian.
And looks like I was wrong as Little appears to be warming in the pen.
Robinson can’t deliver but Stowers comes through as we get ANOTHER 2-out RBI. Clutch hitting on display tonight. 6-2 now.
