Grades:

Defense: C-, D 5 errors on plays that need to be made. However, multiple good plays to up the grade a little. Shane Bond made a great running catch, falling down throw home to prevent a run from scoring.
Pitching: B, B+, Some walks which resulted in a B. However, both players did a great job of being in the strike zone and keeping hitters off balance.
