A combined 14 errors, seven by each team, filled the error column of the box score on a night when the baseball was leaving bats with pace. Three times in the first five frames, the Senators capitalized on the Mavericks’ miscues, helping the home team build a 6-0 advantage in the early-going.
“Defensively, it was a pretty weird game,” Senators head coach Jon Burnett said. “A lot of errors were just balls in guys’ gloves that they didn’t squeeze it on. Pitching was great. I thought our offense is coming around, we hit the ball well, had good approaches.”
