Tim had a single to go with 2 walks and a stolen base while Jeff contributed a key first inning single.

He ended with a career high 15 strike outs (including the side in the last inning), 1 walk, 6 hits. Our boys are jubilant in their unexpected win and this was the emotional hi-lite of the season thus far for the team.
