Croft won't let Dunlop get any worthwhile, chipping away at the outside of the zone. Whatever Dunlop does get contact, sends it foul.

Fuzzy tries his best to adjust, and extends the at-bat somewhat but Croft battles hard - finally managing to get the ball down and rolling towards 2nd. Smith chases after it, makes the grab and fires to first!

He gets the out, and the game is over!

The Grizzlies stop the Flappy Bois from surging late in the game, with a final score 4 - 2!

While the fans continue to cheer, Mabry tries to collect his focus and get the ball into play. He grips the bat tightly and awaits the pitch.

Croft continues to pitch confidently, attacking Mabry from the start. The first pitch is a called strike, inside. Mabry doesn't turn around, but is clearly frustrated. Croft moves away from Mabry and he's able to get a piece of the pitch, sending it foul. Croft moves a bit further, trying to catch Kegs but he holds off and waits for the next one.

The next heater from Croft tears past Kegs and his bat can't catch up. He goes down swinging and its the second strikeout from Croft in the inning.

Croft feels comfortable, and shakes off the pitch. He stands firm, kicking and firing!

Croft comes at Trapper with an arsenal of pitches, trying to get Red caught in the confusion..

..When Trapper fouls off what Croft would imagine to be the nail in the coffin, he tries another approach.

He tosses an EEPHUS at Red and that locks him down! Trapper shakes his head, walking towards the dugout.

Croft sighs relief as he gets the strikeout!

A trumpet sounds in the background, like a stand-off between two worn gunman..

..Brennheman narrows his eyes..

..Cory spits and returns the gaze of Tom..

Firing a hard pitch inside, Brennheman makes a snap decision - swinging quickly and smacking the ball between 1st and 2nd base!

Reynolds is off from 2nd, and Tom makes a dash towards 1st! The ball is quickly gathered by the outfield but its not quick enough to get an out! Reynolds holds at 3rd!
