Sean Hoffman had a solid complete game outing tonight. He struck out 7, and had a nice 13/6 GB/FB ratio for the game. The All-Americans' defense tonight was less than stellar with 3 errors on the night. 2 of those errors led to 2 unearned runs, the difference in the game.

Though they only managed 2 runs, the Columbus offense was hitting the ball hard all night. Line drives once again found their way into fielders' gloves more than a couple times. Once those start falling, the run scoring should really pick up.

The pitching for the All-Americans was good again tonight; as Coach Mannino said on the bus after the game, the staff is going to keep us in most of our games, the offense needs to win the game. Tonight, the offense was unlucky yet again, and the defensive miscues were the difference in the game.

Tomorrow night the All-Americans travel to Grand Lake to take on the Mariners at 7:15 PM. Kolbrin Vitek will make his first start of the season for Columbus.
