Joe Ryan left the game with a sore elbow after walking the second batter and we had to think we had a good chance. But no. Trey Yesavage wasn’t good, but then only gave up one run. In four innings he allowed five hits, three walks and six strikeouts. He got the outs when he needed and got the luck when he needed. In the third, with a runner on first, Trey gave up a hard hit double down the third base line, it looked like it would score a run, but it bounced over the wall in left for a ground rule double. A walk and strikeout ended the inning without that run scoring. Unfortunately, Braydon Fisher didn’t have that sort of luck. He gave up three earned while getting just two outs, making it a 4-0 game. The rest of the pen was good: Joe Mantiply (three outs), (four outs) and (three outs) didn’t allow a run. The offense got 11 hits, but only went 1 for 11 with RISP. We scored:
