Eighth Inning

Jason Herman has come into the game in relief of Martinez, who is in line for the win after allowing two runs on five hits and three walks and striking out nine in seven innings. 

Nichols was the first batter Herman would face, and he lined out to center for the first out. Herman then retired Baez before walking replacement right fielder Allen. Reyes followed with a base hit up the middle, then Cabrera singled to bring Reyes home and cut the lead to 6-3. Herman then struck out Holloway to end the top half of the inning.

Todd Lutz entered the game on the mound for the WhiteWings in the bottom half and faced Cardona to lead things off. Cardona popped out to first, then Mendez came to the plate and hit a weak infield single right up the line. He was caught stealing with Nunez at the plate to empty the bases, but Nunez made sure the Broncos' scoring streak kept up with a solo shot to center field. Sanchez followed with a bloop single, but Santos ended the inning by popping out to the catcher.

Broncos lead 6-3.
