Kline vs Grissom

 

1st pitch ground out.

 

One out.

Koronka is tossing beach balls.

 

Never understood why that was a bad thing. You ever try to hit a beach ball with a bat? Sure, you hit it every time, but it doesn't go far. And nothing left the IF in that inning, so maybe he was throwing big plastic inflated balls.

#57 gets the save. They don't know who he is. I haven't researched it. My post count is slightly boosted.

[BCVM22]

The box score lists the save as going to Federico Baez. Never heard of him. Anyone?
