SoM NNL Replay: STL@HOM game 2 - a wild day for the Stars

Bullet Joe Rogan struggles with control issues through 7+ innings, giving up four walks and four runs. Most of the damage is done in the fourth, when the Grays rack up five hits to score three runs.

Much in the same way, Double Duty Radcliffe starts his relief outing with a walk, loading the bases with no outs in the eighth, but can work out of it by inducing the Grays pitcher to hit into an inning ending double play.

A few late inning hits, including a towering homerun into the back rows of the center field spectators from Cool Papa Bell, are not enough to turn the game around for the visitors who drop two in a row against Homestead and now have to try to get some wins in two home games against the NNL's start studded Monarchs. Unfortunately they'll have to do that without Homerun Johnson who took a nasty fastball in on his ankle in his first at bat and will have to sit out at least a couple of games.

The Grays hope to get some more wins off the ECL last place Hilldales in yet another two game series at home.
