After the second run in the fourth, starting pitcher Vincent Cacciotti was pulled. He recorded five strikeouts and allowed two earned runs in his four innings of work.
Chris Walls came in for relief, this was his first outing of the year after being a key part in last years rotation and facing injury at the beginning of the year. Walls had to have an emergency surgery to get his appendix removed at the beginning of the season. He threw one inning and let up just one hit.
“It feels great to be back, it’s like I never left,” said Walls when he was asked about how it felt to be back.
After Walls, came Curtis Shedlock to close it out. Shedlock had another great outing and is cementing himself in the role of a great closer. In two innings of work, he held the Bison hitless and struck out one to finish out the game.
