If you love baseball and were in attendance, you were treated to a great 12 inning game between Scottsdale and Yavapai. It started with a 6 inning shutout pitching duel between Stephen Tarpley and Yavapai’s superb right-hander Peter Lenstrohm before Scottsdale scored two runs in the 7th. In summary, Stephen pitched 7 strong shutout innings and got 9 Ks before surprising all by returning in the 8th with 90 pitches already thrown. He then gave up a single, a HR and finally a walk before exiting the game. When questioned about his return in the 8th, Stephen took full credit by stating that he convinced his coach to let him back in the game on a short leash… Too bad for his ERA, the “leash” wasn't quite short enough… -smile
