Heading into the bottom of the 6th, Vanderbilt was in total control. Patrick Raby had battled through 5 scoreless innings—matching Asa Lacey frame for frame. He didn’t have his best stuff, but he battled. He surrendered 3 hits and 3 walks, but what really got the pitch count up was aTm’s laudible “foul off everything that’s not your pitch” approach. Ethan Paul had recently solved the mystery of Asa Lacey, and had provided Raby with a 5 run cushion (a 3 run dinger in the 5th, and a 2 run single in the 6th), as well, so at 101 pitches, it was understandable for Corbs to make the call to the pen.
