Josh Mullin singled to right to start the inning. Brock Zarse bunted back

to the pitcher, who forced Mullin at second. The second baseman tried to double off Zarse at first and threw the ball away. Zarse ended up at second.

On a wild pitch Zarse ended up at third and Banes walked leaving the two at first and third. Scott Seabolt was the batter. The BC coach entered his ace left hander to close the door.
