Defense has been seriously suspect this series 

[BrassBulls12]

Should have been out of that inning with no damage. 

[BrassBulls12]

Not a bad start by Sullivan, just couldn't string together efficient innings. Defense didn't help him much either.

Added 3 and still batting in Bot8, looks like the Bulls should get the series and move into a tie for 1st in AAC.  :fingerscrossed
