Alex Farotto back out there. Just got to get quick outs. Michael Roth and Adam Westmoreland throwing in the bullpen.

Trent Whitehead leads it off. Farotto starts him with two balls, then gets two strikes. Outside corner, no gift, full count. Ball four is nowhere near the zone and Whitehead has a leadoff walk.

Ryan Wood up. Farotto far ahead 0-2, then bounces one up to the plate that eludes Justin Dalles. Wild pitch, ball one, Whitehead runs to second.

Farotto gets away with another one, an inside curve that Wood turns on and yanks foul. Still 1-2. Another foul ball to third as Andrew Crisp tries to stop it.

Wood blasts one a mile high over the plate and it looks like it may drift out of play, but Dalles sticks with it and catches it, one down. Five to go.

Stephen Batts up. He chops to third, Crisp charges, has, throws to first, two down. They'll let Whitehead run to third to get the out. Four to go.

Kyle Roller up. Said your prayers lately?

Roller bounces and almost takes Farotto's head with it, but Bobby Haney has it unbothered and throws to first. Shift worked that time, inning over. Three to go.
