Recap:
Richmond pitched very well until the 8th where the wheels literally fell off for the
Cougs.  The inning started with an error.  He promptly stole second, staying out of
the doubleplay on the grounder to pitcher the next hitter hit.  1 IBB and PHB later,
Richmond was pulled.  Hertzler relieved Richmond and based on this outing isn't going
to be get many votes for Fireman of the Year... he gave up a two run single to the
first batter he faced.  Then threw the ball away on a pick off attempt.  Now with a
runner on third he balks him home.  A bit too little, too late, he strikes out the
next two batters, finally getting out of the innings.  But the damage was done as
the Cougs lost to Beloit 6-2
.
The offense wasn't very productive, getting 11 hits but only scoring 2 runs.
.
The Cougars committed 2 errors, unfortunately as stated above they were both in the
same inning.
