Oneca again the Pirates faced their greatest opponent...themselves. Game 7 against the A's proved to be another heartbreaker. However, this game started different with the Pirates drawing first blood as they showed discipline at the plate in the first inning. We took the pitcher out of his comfort zone and forced him to walk the bases loaded and susequently walk in the only 2 runs we scored. After our initial at bat it was downhill from there. The Pirates couldn't do anything right on defense. We let a masterful pitching performance by Garrison Thornton go wasted as we made error after error (of the 14 runs allowed, 8 were due to error on our part). It was also a disapointing day at the plate. While several Pirates batters did manage to reach base, no one could muster a single hit. At this point in the season the Pirates need to get something going if they plan to contend for the 4th place slot and enter tournament play.
Final Score: A's 14, Pirates 2
