Brian started with the fifth batter in the lineup. A guy who has gotten the ball to the outfield twice this game. A fly out to right in the first and a sac fly to center in the fourth. He made contact once more, off of Brian, hitting a single to right field. It didn't seem to get to Brian as he proceeded to get the next two batters to strikeout swinging, but then he hit a bump. Or, to be more precise, a player. It was a wild pitcher that got the eighth batter on his thigh.
He limped a little bit as one of his coaches came to talk to him. He walked it off and jogged to first. There was an announcement of a pinch hitter for the pitcher spot in their lineup. Two on, two outs, new guy up to bat.
