Credit where credit is due: the title of this post was said by Mark's teammate, Kurt. Mark did have quite a day, leading off seven different innings with singles, raising his average to 0.470. Quite amazing to see, actually. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
I am interested to hear your thoughts on whether it is worth noting that Mark lead off seven innings because Kurt was so frequently making the last outs. Kurt's early RBI double looked to be a game winner on his otherwise 2-for-10 day. But...
In a game that saw many half innings end with the bases loaded, Mark did not get out of his bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 8th, and surrendered 6 runs in an inning he started with a 1-0 lead.
Adrian, Hansoo, Kurt, Mark - 2 runs, 16 hits
Andy, Matt, Pete, Eric - 6 runs, 15 hits.
HR: none
