Defense mention: Very nice catch by Jordan Hammontree (ROCK)
going away just under the 370ft sign
to take away a sure 2B/3B leading off the 6th.
Clearly a yeoman's performance from Herrick. Looked like to me he was throwing as good in the 9th as he was in 1st. His offense almost pulled it out coming from behind in the 7th. Winning run was left stranded on 2nd (I think)
Excellent performance by Cody Fields for Rockwall but comes away with a no decision. In hindsight, I'd like to have seen us make a change in the 7th to try and close it out (Rockwall was up 3-1 after 6) and preserve the win for Fields. NF tied the game in the 7th so we played 2 more.
