We beat the Athletics 24-10 in a pretty ugly game.
Augie Torres started the game for us. It was his first pitching assignment since high school. He got off to a shaky start in the first, giving up a 4-pitch walk, a base hit, and then a 3-run home run. But he got out of the inning on a 5-4-3 double play.
We came back in the top of the second to score 12 runs, easily our biggest inning of the year. Although we did get 9 hits in the inning, we were greatly helped by 5 A's errors. We left two on, so had 17 hitters in the inning.
We gave 5 of those runs back in the third when the A's scored all 5 runs after two were out. Some miscues on our part and timely hitting by the heart of the A's order got them close at 12-8.
Phil Montes manufactured a run for us in the 4th. He walked, stole second and third, and scored on an infield out.
The A's scored single runs in the 4th and 5th. The 5th could have been worse, but Danny Moore threw out a runner at home trying to score on a fly to center. This got the A's back to 13-10.
We blew the game open with a 6-run 6th inning, this time bringinging 11 hitters to the plate. We did almost as well in the 7th, scoring 5.
Meanwhile, Zach Jones came in in the bottom of the 6th and threw 3 shutout innings.
