Bulls Salvage Split with Clippers
DBAP / DURHAM—After a pair of disastrous, er, colonizations at the hands of Columbus on Friday and Saturday, Durham rebounded with a crisp 4-2 win today. The game took just 2:11 to play. The Bulls relief corps was back to its April form, throwing four scoreless, one-hit innings in relief of winner Wade Davis.
(n.b. If you check the box score, don’t believe Davis’ pitch count of 73. In fact he threw many more — 91 by my count, 50 for strikes. The guy manning Dave Levine’s play-by-play computer today got tied up trying to untangle and then record the synopsis of the Bulls’ complicated three-run second inning ex post facto, and he wasn’t able to record most of Davis’ pitches in the third. I don’t know if Levine is gone for the summer — classes at Duke have ended — but if not, come back soon!)
Anyway, one of those scoreless relief innings came courtesy of Jason Isringhausen, making his first appearance in a Bulls uniform.
