A struggle from the start

The Braves lost to the Marlins tonight 10-4. Derek Lowe started for the Braves and had a tough first inning and a tough fifth inning. Lowe ended up throwing 106 pitches in his five innings, but still left with the game tied at 4. Once again, the bullpen failed to come through and gave up 5 runs in the ninth inning. In total, the bullpen gave up 6 runs in 4 innings, raising it's already poor ERA to 7.00. Also, the offense didn't help themselves, only getting 6 hits. These last two games have made me sick. I hate it when we keep the game close, or even have the lead, just to watch the bullpen throw batting practice and give it all away. The teams play tomorrow at 1210p. Kenshin Kawakami will start for the Braves.

Ball State's game against Indiana was canceled due to poor field conditions. It is not likely to be rescheduled. They have a three-game series with Central Michigan this weekend.

Brownsburg beat McCutcheon on Wednesday night, 1-0. Matt Duncan got the win and Dalton Wentz got the save. The Dogs host McCutcheon Thursday night at 530p.
