AFL Update: Oct. 31, 2015
Salt River snapped a 1-1 tie with two in the 5th and added one in the 7th to take this one, 4-1.
The usual suspects — Spencer Kieboom and Christopher Bostick — started for the Rafters.
- Kieboom batted fifth and was the Salt River backstop. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Defensively, he had a passed ball and was unsuccessful throwing out two basestealers.
- Bostick batted ninth and was the DH. He doubled (pictured above), walked, and scored a run to go 1-for-2.
Dakota Bacus was the third National to appear, coming in during the 9th inning. He allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base with a single and a walk.
A stolen base took away the double play but the “White Ninja” high-wired out of the threat with a lineout sandwiched between two strikeouts to garner the save, his first for the fall campaign.
Salt River visits Surprise this afternoon to finish the week and the month of October.
Curious to see which guys Bud Black tweaks
On the pitching staff . Especially AAron Barrett
, Carpenter, Sammy Solis or Benincasa
Isn’t Barrett pretty much out all next year with TJ surgery.
