...lead in its series-clinching win. Cole, who had allowed just one hit through the first five frames, appeared rattled by a pair of errors to start the inning—a booted groundball by shortstop Morgan Brown that allowed leadoff hitter Dan DeGeorge to reach and a high pickoff throw that permitted him to move to second—and, after hitting a batter, surrendered an RBI double to Zach Wendkos, a two-run double to Sal Iacono, and a walk before exiting with the score 3-1. “I thought Cole came out pretty good...
