Game 73 @ Carp: Nishi Spots ’em 7, Stuck on 99 W
July 2, 2021

Now, I’m not going to excuse this game away as bad luck for the Tigers. You don’t win when you can’t hit in scoring situations. But a dribbler of a single by their pitcher extended an inning that coulda-shoulda-woulda-but-didn’t end after just one run. Nope, and another weak infield single broke the inning wide open. Meanwhile, the Tigers bats did enough to put someone on base in all but the eighth inning… but it took a sacrifice fly (line drive) in the seventh to prevent this from being a shutout. We just have to hope the Tigers can win out the weekend and that Yuki Nishi will get career win #100 next Friday against the Giants.
