Recap:


Mazzaro made his debut and pitched better than his line would indicate. 
Perhaps showing his nerves he led the game off with hitting the first
batter he faced.  He gave up a single then walked the next batter.  Then
struck out the next 3 batters.  Had a 1-2-3 second inning.  In the third
the lead off batter reached base on a Mazzaro throwing error.  During the
next ab he steals seconds and the batter walks.  Next batter hits an RBI
single.  Mazzaro bounces back nicely by getting a FO, KS and another fly
out to end the innings.  He had a 1-2-3 4th.  And only allowed a single in
the 6th.  The 6th is where he came undone.  The leadoff batter doubles to
start the inning.  Next batter hits an rbi single.  Next batter sacrifices
the runner to second.  Next batter reaches on a walk.  Next batter singles,
scoring one runner as the next advances to third.  Next batter has a sacfly
to right, runner advances to third.  Kilby replaces Mazzaro who gets the final
out.  Overall you have to be pleased with Mazzaro's outing, especially
considering how young he is.  He ended up throwing 101 pitching, 67 strikes. 
I'm sure now that his debut is out of the way, he'll pick up right were he
left off in AA.  Marshall relieved Kilby and threw a one scoreless inning
with 1 K and 2 BB.  Prinz allowed one earned run, no allowing a hit, but
walking 3 as Memphsis beat the Rivercats 7-1.

The Cats didn't score until the 9th on a sacfly by Conrad.
