The fifth inning was characteristic of ECR's woes as the Conquistadores committed their fourth error, and reliever Jon Selb walked in a run and hit the next batter on the first pitch to force in another run and end the game with no outs.

We're not real concerned with the score. We're more concerned about how we played. We're happy we played well on a Monday. ``We'd talked about that, playing the way we play later in the week at the beginning of the week, since we haven't been doing that.'' |
