CHARLESTON, W.VA. -- When West Virginia Power relief pitcher Blake Weiman gave up a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning Thursday against the Augusta GreenJackets, it was a rare instance of the Power bullpen giving up much of anything.
Prior to Thursday's game, which the Power eventually won 8-7 in 15 innings, West Virginia relievers had allowed just four earned runs in its previous 27 1/3 innings pitched.
The Power has kept itself in the South Atlantic League Northern Division first half race, and the bullpen's ability to keep the club in games has been a big part of that.
