Since they played Wednesday night and again on Thursday on our off-day, I'll give them a separate post for these first 2 games against Indianapolis in the first round, the team they beat for the title last season.

Game 1: The Rays' top pitching prospect, Mack Anglin, got the start and he was overpowering. Unfortunately he wasn't efficient and while he pitched well he only lasted 5 innings, going 5 4 1 1 4 8. He left with a 3-1 lead but unfortunately Luke Little and Dany Jimenez combined to allow 4 runs in the 7th and 8th and the Bulls dropped Game 1 of the best-of-5 series 5-3. The offense only managed 4 hits with the biggest of them being Bramdon Perez's 2-run single which temporarily put them in front.

Game 2: The Bulls got another dominant but relatively short performance from a starter but this time scored enough runs to support him as they evened the series with Indianapolis at 1 with a 6-2 win. Seth Johnson was excellent, no-hitting Indy through 5 innings before allowing a run in the sixth and leaving at 6 1 1 1 2 5 on 98 pitches. Bramdon Perez stayed hot with a 2-run HR to put them up 3-0 and Tyler Frank also drilled a 2-run shot and later added an RBI single to pace the offense. Garrett Mitchell got on in front of these guys several times and stole 4 bases, going 2-3 with 3 runs scored. Nick Frasso picked up the save after Grant Gambrell put the first 2 runners on in the 9th as we head back to Durham even. Dustin May gets a rehab start in Game 3.
