[geezer]

The second good pitching outing for Lamar. Last year the bullpen wasn't able to stop the bleeding or keep a lead. If the offense continues to improve maybe it will be a decent year. Always good to get the Friday night win.

This team has some talent and seems to be really good defensively. Very good speed in the outfield and hopefully the bullpen can improve over previous Davis teams.

Please lord, let us have at least one successful athletics team!

Way to go Cards!

[Skinny1]

Lamar definitely looked like the better team in this series. Could tell SFA was getting frustrated facing the Cards.
