The Cougars offense is in hibernation. They had four hits after having
two days off. Coming into the game the Cougars were hitting .225 as a team, that
is near the bottom of the league.
Jake Woods started for the Kernels and pitched great. He went six innings,
giving up only three hits, and walking one. Jake reitred the first four men he
faced. The Cougars never got anyone past second base against him. Woods also
struck out four.
The Kernels bullpen was even stronger than their starter. Dustin Griffith
came in and pitched two perfect innings, striking out four. Mark O'Sullivan then pitched
the ninth and gav eup only a leadoff double to Hunter Wyant.
Allen Baxter made his first home start and his third overall. The number three pick for
the Marlins in last years draft lasted five innings for the second straight outing. This time
he pitched better than last but still lost. He gave up three his and two runs. Only one of those runs were
earned. He walked three and struck out six. Baxter threw two wild pitches.
The bullpen got lit up this time. Nick Ungs came on to replace Baxter in the sixth. He
lasted two innings, giving up six hits. He allowed five runs and two walks. In the seventh
inning ten Kernels came to the plate to face him. In that inning alone he walked two.
Tyler Banks then came on for the last two innings. He wasn't that much better than Ungs.

In that inning he struck out the leadoff man, Ed Welch. Greg Porter than flew out to Anthony Brewer
in center. Ryan Nevins then struck out to end the inning.

in the way. One out later, Justin Turner walked to load the bases. Jeff Mathis then lined one to center. Centerfielder Anthony Brewer lost it in the
lights. The ball droped and it rolled past him. On the play Nevins and Cahill would score. Casey Kotchman then singled to
