In a game that was to test the teams consistency, the Pirates fumbled at an attempt to prove to the league we were serious contenders. Game 10 started with the Pirates holding the mighty first place Tigers in check, limiting them to only 3 runs in the first three innings. This was attributed to a solid debut start for pitcher Ryan "Row" Wimsatt. His performance was highlighted by 6 strikeouts, 4 runs allowed on 5 hits. The Pirates struggled on offense all day and only mustered 2 hits (singles by Garrison Thornton and Matthew Hamilton). In the fourth inning the Tigers blew the game wide open as Brandon Chatman struggled with his control in relief of "Row". However, picthing could not be to blame as the Pirates made several errors on routine plays in the field. Overall, it was a step back for the Pirates in the first game of the competitive second half.
Final Scor: Tigers 19, Pirates 2
