However, in the 4th inning, Turong, the Brewers' first batter and Scubble's Classic teammate, caught his 95.5-mile inside-corner sinker and hit a deep fly ball to left-center field. Center fielder Parkes retreated all the way to the home run wall. In the end, he could only watch the small white ball fly out of the wall. This hit tied the Yang Chun Cannon with an initial velocity of 102.5 miles, a flight distance of 384 feet, and an elevation angle of 30 degrees.
After 1 out, Brewers Jake Bauers hit another hit, but Scoop immediately recovered and allowed Andrew Vaughn to hit a double play. After 4 innings, the two sides were tied at 1:1.
Open Questions
- Will Scubaper maintain his excellent performance in subsequent games?
