Great atmosphere. I'm proud of the team. They delivered the result tonight.

It was not easy out of the game for Beard. He gives up a home run and he is grinding through it.

And I thought the first inning, we talk about self-contained relief.

Our starting pitcher had to deal with that in the first.

And then again in the fifth, I thought those were critical moments for him. He got a big punch out there in the middle of the

slight misfire in the first inning. Then he settled in and posted beautiful work. The fifth

inning, we were first and third. One out, I think he got another punch out and then a fly ball

to right field and really harness any sort of relief effort that he needed another punch out and then a fly ball to right field and really

harness any sort of relief effort that he needed in that moment. It was able to extend. We got the

pitch count right where we needed it to be. No more. Purcell, as good as I've seen him throw

that change up was exceptional. The fastball had its normal action to it, but the change up was great.

Landed a slider or two, but I thought today it was more the change-up and the fastball

that were really good for him.

And it is a tough balance when you go from Beard's look to Purcell's right-handed look.

I'm proud of the guys.

There were some good defensive plays.

I know there was a play

we should have, could have made, but the game clock in the infield stood out at third and short.

Putnam's ball. I know that's a routine-ish type play, but we've seen that play not made at

times. He goes out and gets that thing. Delam Allure, the ball off the screen and right, bare hand, throwed a second.

Well done.
