David Price's day is done

By Eric Sorenson - February 09, 2007

The Player of the Year candidate didn't light the world on fire, but went 5.2 innings, giving up six hits, striking out six and walking three. Two of those free bases came around to score. Price ended upu throwing 94 pitches on the day, 53 strikes and 41 balls. Again, didn't use a lot of power pitches, moslty mixing things up pretty well. Can't say he'll make my Player of the Year top three... at least not yet. The scouts love the dude though.

Tyler Rhoden came on in relief and was welcomed to the game by an sharp double to right by pinch hitter Jess Buenger, scoring the third Rice run of the day. It's now the Owls 3 - Commodores 1, going into the 7th.
