In the series finale, Dave Van Horn has made several changes to his lineup. Most notably, Casey Opitz is getting the day off behind the plate and Dylan Leach is starting at catcher in his place. Also, Jacob Nesbit is back in the lineup for the first time since opening weekend, starting at third base.

That led to Cullen Smith moving to first base, Brady Slavens moving to right field and Cayden Wallace coming out of the lineup. Slavens also moved up into the cleanup spot.

After a solid day at the plate yesterday, Zack Gregory is making a second straight start in left field. It's also worth noting that Jalen Battles has moved into the 6 hole after hitting eighth or ninth in the first nine games.

Robert Moore drew a leadoff walk and eventually came around to score on a Brady Slavens sacrifice fly.

Nesbit finally notched his first hit of the season and it was a big one, as he hit a three-run home run into the left field bullpen.

With the bases loaded and no outs, Cullen Smith hit a fly ball into center that was deep enough for a sacrifice fly. Everyone else tagged up on the play and Jalen Battles' line out to center also drove in a run on a sacrifice fly.
