In the third, Joe Becht singled and Brynn Martinez doubled to put runners at second and third with no outs but the Bolts couldn’t find the big hit to get them in. They once again had two in scoring position with one out in the fourth thanks to hits from Dash Winningham and Patrick Mathis but they were stranded.
