6:41: BlueClaws go quietly in the first…Knapp on the hill (10 ks on Friday).
6:51: Two runs for LCO…on a groundout and a bloop single…3 hits is as many as Knapp gave up in his last start…2-0 LCO.

7:20: Lakewood gets one on a bases loaded walk but they leave three. The run came without a hit.

8:39: Lakewood has left 10 on through 7…d’Arnaud thrown out stealing in the 7th…4-2 LCO at the 7th inning stretch.
8:52: Jimenez gets through the 7th but LAK needs two runs and they have six outs to get them…Travis Mattair by the way has walked six times in the last two games.
8:57: Lakewood goes 1-2-3 in the 8th…Rosenberg on for the bottom half…Still 4-2 LCO…Lakewood will have the top of the order in the 9th.
9:20: Game over. Lakewood loaded the bases in the 9th but Hanzawa lined out to center. The CF Webb made a diving catch to end the game. Have to pack. See you tomorrow.
