July 23, 2010 - Everett at Salem Keizer

Bob and I didn't attend the game last night (it was a road game in Oregon...) that went 14 innings with the Aquasox finally winning 2-1. But after looking at the game report the 14th inning last night looked pretty unusual…

Everett Top 14th

• Terry Serrano singles on a bunt ground ball to first baseman Carlos Quintana. 
• Anthony Phillips singles on a bunt ground ball to third baseman Kyle Mach. Terry Serrano to 3rd. 
• Ryan Royster strikes out swinging. 
• Robert Anston singles on a bunt ground ball to first baseman Carlos Quintana. Terry Serrano scores. Anthony Phillips to 2nd. 
• Kevin Rivers called out on strikes. 
• With Evan Sharpley batting, wild pitch by Andrew Romo, Anthony Phillips to 3rd. Robert Anston to 2nd. 
• Evan Sharpley strikes out swinging. 

Looks to me like Serrano went from first to third on a bunt to the third baseman by Phillips – no one covering third on the play and he just kept running? Heads up play!

Then a squeeze bunt to get him home where the runner was safe.

And around and between bunts in the inning we struck out three times.

So we parlayed three bunts (two of them probably sacrificial but ruled hits) and three strikeouts into a run. Not a single ball hit as far as the edge of the infield grass…
