Yesterday, we combined both stats for one super inning full of scoring: The Cubs opened with 3 runs in the top of the 1st, but after some clutch hitting and a very timely error, we\u2019d counter with 4 unearned runs in the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs tied it in the 2nd on an unearned run, but after some clutch hitting and another very timely error, we\u2019d counter with 3 unearned runs in the 3rd.&nbsp; For the 2nd time this year, the SweatSox had 2 leads in a game!<\/p>\n<p>Josh Ramage, making his 4th start of the season, gave up 3 earned runs over 5 innings before turning the ball over to Dillon Lowry with a 2 run lead.&nbsp; No matter how the rest of the game played out, Ramage became the first SweatSox starter this year to not take the L.<\/p>\n<p>Lowry pitched the final 2 innings, giving up just one hit and one run to save the first ever SweatSox win in Tier 1.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/Gwynievre\/status\/744168109326606336<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the SweatSox win sent shockwaves across the NCBL Twitterverse and we received hundreds, if not thousands, of messages of support and congratulations.&nbsp;
