On a perfect evening at Salt River fields last night, spent with Michael McDermott and gzimmerm right behind home plate, a baseball game was played between the River Rafters and the Mesa Solar Sox. Well at least it resembled one through most of the first 4 innings.
Garrett Hill of Detroit started things off by striking out the side in the top of the first, with a little help from the pitch clock. With two strikes on him the second batter Jeremy Eierman (A’s) failed to get back in the box with only 6 seconds left on the pitch clock and penalized with a called strike, sending him back to the dugout.
