The Surf got things going in the top half of the second, getting to
starter Tanner Watson (1-4). LF Joe Burke led off the inning with a
double, and scored when RF Josh Burrus singled and Rapidz 3B Jake
Daubert made an error that allowed Burke to come all the way home.
After 1B Eddie Kim reached on, the C William Plaza drove him in on a
triple, his first of the season, which tied the ballgame up at two.
The Surf took the lead for good in the fourth. Burrus reached on an
error to lead off the inning, and went to third on a Kim double. Plaza
then grounded out to the shortstop, scoring Burrus from third. 3B Gil
Zayas then hit a sac fly to left, scoring Kim, and giving the Surf a
4-2 lead which they would never surrender.
Atlantic City scored five runs in the seventh, and four runs in the
eighth respectively. 2B Brad Thoma had the big knock in the seventh,
with a single that drove in two runs, and DH Clyde Williams, C Michael
