Turning Point
Bowie designated hitter Samuel Basallo led off the first inning with a single to center field against Webb, went to third base on a single by first baseman Dylan Beavers and scored on a sacrifice fly by left fielder Jud Fabian for a 1-0 lead.
Mound Presence
After the first inning, Webb only allowed another run on two hits in the third but worked into the seventh inning, yielding four total hits and two earned runs with five walks and six strikeouts, including three in a row at one point. After Webb walked the first two batters of the seventh inning, eft-hander Erik Sabrowski entered and recorded all three outs, then pitched a scoreless eighth inning around a walk, completing a two-inning scoreless appearance.
2 on, no outs in the 7th, @ErikSabrowski works out of it
