Tempe: Cassa's Done

By Jason Owens - June 03, 2007

Pat Cassa's day is mercifully over for Riverside as he was pulled after giving up four runs, four walks and seven hits in 3.2 innings of work. It could have been worse with the aforementioned pair of Nebraska baserunning errors and the bases-loaded situation he left for reliever Dan Runzler. Runzler actually hit Jake Opitz to walk in a run, but no more damage was done as the Huskers hold a 4-1 lead heading into the fifth.

I appreciate the tips from readers on what to do in Tempe. I ended up having a couple of Kirins and rolls at a sushi joint down the road from the ballpark last night. The sushi was ok; the cold Kirin was outstanding after the hot day. I cruised down to Mill Ave. as well, but didn't stop. I was impressed with the showing on the main strip on a Saturday with school out of session. It must have been all the baseball fans in town.
