Game 8 against the Giants started like any other, but ended with our heads held high in victory. Brandon Chatman started on the mound and after giving up 5 runs in the first, he settled down and found his groove in the 2nd and 3rd innings. The Pirates approached the plate in this game with an agressive discipline seen only in one other game. We made the opposing pitchers work hard and when they threw strikes, we jumped on the pitches. Many batters reached base as we tied our season high run total with 10. On defense, even though we made a couple of errors, we shut the Giants when we needed to. With the game on the line, relief pitcher Matthew Hamilton shut down 6 of the 7 batters he faced. All in all , it was once again a team effort and every player deserved credit in this win.
Final score: Pirates 10, giants 9
