Baty had one of his best games of the Fall, recording three line drive singles and driving in one of Salt River’s two runs.
After grounding out in the first of his four plate appearances, he hit a line drive single to left, then lined another hit to left to extend his team’s lead to 2-0.
In his last at-bat, he lined a single to right that Eric De La Rosa tried to score on but was thrown out at the plate.
Defensively, Baty didn’t make any errors. He started a 5-4-3 double play and caught a pop-up in foul territory.
Senger’s night wasn’t as memorable. He batted three times before getting double-switched out of the game after the top of the eighth inning. He grounded out, struck out, and flew out in those three at-bats.
