Firebells are up 6-1 with still zero outs.
As the Hunters warm up a new pitcher. The floodgates continue to remain wide open. Jua Park makes Boston pay after receiving a pitch right over the plate. Two more runs come on home. San Francisco is in full command 8-1. But the domination does not end. When the top of the third finally completes, the Fireballs are leading 10-1.
