Dustin Nippert's 5-inning performance put many of you out of the running for the grand prize. In fact, only Blaze had Nippert going 5 innings. Nippert's line: 7 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 95 pitches. Blaze's line: 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 89 pitches.
Luda, Blaze and I were the only ones who dind't have the bullpen giving up a run. Blakeypoo had Willie Eyre as the first reliever in for the Rangers. Ed, Dominic in Alpine and Benjamin had the Rangers with two stolen bases. Ranger W, Cav and Blakeypoo had Michael Young as the Ranger with the most hits.
