Our 1st 5 batters were 2 for 14. Jordan had the single and drove in our only 2 runs, but he struck out the other 2 at bats. Larry was 0-3 as a leadoff guy. I don't care what he did last night, he is far too inconsistent and takes way too many strikes to bat leadoff. Hines was 0-3 with 3 strike outs and a couple of called 3rd strikes. The ones he swung at, he couldn't have hit with a tennis racket. Hujsak- 0-3. Mershon was 1-2 but he also got HBP and Walked. So he was on base 3 times, picked off 2nd once. Long had a bunt single and he walked and he scored on Jordan's single. Downs did his famous Downs at the plate imitation going 0-2. Chance got the first hit in Lindley through the 4 hole by relaxing and not getting frozen in his stance while Lindley used the entire 20 second clock every pitch. There was plenty of suckage to go around.
