Comments

Speerstra pitched a great game...throwing 9 strikeouts, 0 walks (going to 3 balls in the count only 4 times all day), and allowing only 4 base-runners. Johnson sprained his ankle in the bottom of the 6th and will be out for about a week. Harkrider hit his first homerun of the year to put the game out of reach in the 7th. Oh...and the weather was rather miserable: the temperature bounced back-and-forth between 40 and 41 degrees F. and the wind blew in from cf or from lf to rf for most of the game.
