Recap:
Banwart had a very strong game going 7 innings and only allowing 1 earned run while
striking out 8 and only walking 1. He was relieved by Italiano who tossed a scoreless
8th.  Time will tell if this is just a temporary move until he can regain some
confidence.  Heuser pitched a scoreless 9th but wasn't so lucky in the 10th.  With
the game tied 1-1, the inning started well with a ground out to first.  One out, two
to go.  The next hitter walked.  Followed by another walk and then a HPB.  Bases
loaded on 2 walks and hbp.  Apparently feeling the pressure Hueser walked the next
batter, score 2-1, bases still loaded one out.  Demel replaced Heuser and gives up a
single to the first batter he faces.  Score 3-1, still only one out.  The next batter
grounds out 4-3, the runner on third scores.  The inning ends with a strikeout
swinging.  The Ports get two on in the 10th but the game ends on a gidp by Horton.

Carter scored the only run for the Ports, a solo shot in the 4th, running
his HR total to 32 and RBI to 92, good for first and second in the league.
