THUNDER BAY – Sometimes in baseball, all you need is just a little patience – and a willingness to take one in the back.
“We talk a lot about that in the planning approach,” said Skansi, who upped his average to .279 hitting out of the leadoff spot on Sunday.It’s one thing to draw a walk or get hit by a pitch.Against the Honkers, the Border Cats were able to plate six of the free passes, something manager J.M. Kelly has been preaching all season long.
“I think our guys, just like the pitchers, have settled in a little more. We pushed and pushed and pushed to try to win that first half and we didn’t do it. I think our guys, there was a little sense of letdown and defeat … and I think now they’ve kind of responded.” With the bases loaded, Cole Ketzner chopped a ball to third. Petey Craska snagged it and threw home, but the umpire ruled, correctly, that catcher Carson Stevens foot wasn’t on the plate, allowing Brayden Kuriger, who hustled down the line, to score the game’s first run. Stevens was immediately tossed after arguing the call.
