Clyburn was the only Wing with more than one hit in the game, but as usual thus far the Wings came through when they had to despite only seven hits to win. Ramirez was sharp for his spot start, allowing four hits, two runs (both unearned) and struck out four in five innings. Steph was great pitching two innings for the save as the Wings have proved to have a very nice save combo in Steph and Shouse. Steph pitched two innings with no hits, no runs and two strikeouts. The Wings play the final game in the series on turn back the clock day at Frontier. Then they will begin the roadtrip and the infield will be covered up with grass for soccer as the Rhinos open.
