There were 12 runs scored in the 9'th and 10'th innings of this game.   The River Cats drew a total of 9 walks in the game.  Huge game for Austin Slater who reached base 6 times with 3 XBH.  His OBP stands at .440 with a .558 SLG%.  I guess the downside to all the K's for Conner Menez is his pitch count reached 96 after 5.1 IP.   He has 101 K's in 76 IP combined at AA and AAA this season.  He has 31 K's in 16.1 IP over his last 3 starts.

Volcanoes erupted for 4 runs over the final 3 innings to come from behind.  I remember when Deiyerbert Bolivar put up some really strong numbers in the DSL a few years ago.  He's really struggled to find traction in the U.S.
