How It Happened
For the second game today, the Barons bats were connecting. In the top of the 1st they jumped out to a 3-0 lead off a Maxwell double to center field bringing in two runners. They gave up five runs in the bottom of the inning. Then, came back with two runs in the top of the second and three quick outs in the bottom to go into the third inning tied.
