Kacy Clemens now up with 2 outs

Fastball up and away on the run and hit the throw airmails into center field

Runner at second the 0-1 misses down 1-1

Shift on for Clemens makes a passive swing at a slider pulled weakly foul

 

[Johnstark23]

Kacy continued

slow slider down runs it full

change up is a high fly ball to left he camps and that will do it for the horns

nothings going to the second
