Howard, Scott, and Woods also starred on the day as Howard and Woods combined to go 2-for-4 in the first affair with a two RBI, three stolen bases, and two runs scored, while Scott — like Howard and Woods before him — collected a 1-for-2 day at the dish with a RBI, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored. Jared Cunningham walked in both of his plate appearances and scored a pair of runs, Anthony Wade walked, drove in a pair of runs, and scored twice, and Eric Porter, along with Rob Robson, added a run apiece to close out the collective efforts for SOMC.
