giving way to reliever Jimmy Winston. Winston inherited bases loaded and no outs. Another walk brought in a second run to tie the game and the go-ahead run came in on an RBI single by Luke Roskam. Winston was able to settle in and minimize the damage and the
Bears were only down 3-2 heading to the bottom half of the inning. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

dragged into this game. That’s one of the great things about our sport is you hopefully flush it away and come back the next day. I thought our guys did a good job with that. Our dugout was great and we had good energy and good personality in the dugout. I
