All the runs scored in this one were unearned. Grafton got one in the 3rd on a 2-base error, sac bunt and sac fly. We tied it up in the 7th on a two-out error and 1B Steven Lewis drove in the go ahead run with a bases loaded walk. SP Tim White was excellent for us (6 IP, 0 ER) and the bullpen was able to nail it down this time.

We almost coughed up another one late, but hung on this time. We took an early lead in the 2nd, thanks to a couple walks and some timely hitting, then added to it in the 7th (thanks to another couple walks). Our starter, Bill Landry, was cruising until the 8th when he got into trouble. The bullpen was able to bail him out and preserve the lead.

We're in a real skid now. We took a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the 7th and our bullpen imploded (4 walks, 6 hits) and gave up 9 runs. Troy's LF Tommy Hampton had two doubles and capped their 9-run 7th with a two-out bases loaded double to put the game completely out of reach. We've got to take 3 of the last 4 if we don't want to finish under .500.

Freeburg completed the sweep. Their offense proved hard to stop once again, knocking out 15 hits. I guess we were a little lucky to limit them to just 6 runs. 1B Richard Bly led their offense going 4-for-5 with 3 RBI. SP Bill Johnson only lasted 5.2 IP for Freeburg, but picked up the win. They're just a tough team playing really well right now.
