He threw well. He was hitting his spots. He got us five innings and then Kevin (McDonnell) and Tyler (Williams) did a nice job coming in.

Weed came up with the big two-run double to tie it and that kind of gave us the spark there. Hitting is contagious. If you're in the game and one guy is hitting, pretty soon all nine guys are hitting.
