Berken "blew him away" with high heat. Berken a Clemson grad. Three down, we're up 3-2 going to the ninth.

Good to see Berken go out there for the first time this spring and not give up any runs, I think hes got a future as a 4/5 starter

[BillySmith]

Jim Traber was a little known Oriole first baseman. No word on his relationship to Billy Traber. Half-brothers? It is possible.

Ball four. Turner showing some good patience. Freel up.

I hope he gets some more action. With the WBC still going, you never know. Has to be good for his confidence.

Scrat, you will not believe it.

Freel is hit by the pitch. Runners on first and second.

Dorta up.

[BillySmith]

:clap3: Dorta lays down the perfect bunt and reaches on a single. Bases juiced for Danny Figueroa. :clap3:

Haha, pulling out all the trivia stops today Billy? Played in the late 80's maybe early 90's? And you never know, anythings possible these days. Good to see Turner still showing hes solid at the plate

Dorta up.

I think that man has to be just one constant huge bruise

Figueroa takes first pitch ball. Played at University of Miami, Paco is his brother - that's a fact. But not related to Ed Figueroa, former pitcher of the Yankees. 2-2 count.

I think you should be designated official OH family-tree analyst:D

Works it to 3-2. No room at the Inn. High fly, off the wall in left, double, two runs scored, Dorta stops at third. 5-2 Baltimore. "That ball almost went out."

Great call Billy. What are those obnoxious Boston announcers saying now?

[BillySmith]

Quiroz up for Wieters. Liner to left, Dorta scores, Figueroa held by Samuel at third, 6-2.

There is one out. Whoever preceded Quiroz struck out.

"The ball that Figueroa hit was really smashed. The wind held it up. It could have been a grand slam."

That may be Danny's first ever extra base hit! Just kidding of course, but its close...he is not known for his power haha:)

[BillySmith]

Infield fly rule, 2 out. Nolan Reimold up. 2 runners on. "Bowling Green State University out of Ohio".

Seriously. And I bet each time he gets hit, Trembley likes him more.
