Belle Plaine, Minn. - It was the Shane Hofmann Show at Tiger Park, as the 11 year vet did it on the mound and more surprisingly, at the dish. Hofmann went seven innings and only allowed four hits and two runs (one earned). After giving up hits to the first two batters of the game, he did not give up another hit until the seventh inning. “Ace” dropped his ERA to 0.90 (2 ER in 20 IP) in the process.
At the plate, all Hofmann did was go 4-for-5 with four RBI, a Michael Cuddyer-like resurgence. His four hits set the pace for a season-high 12 for the Tigers. Just as importantly, the Tigers also drew seven walks on the night.
It should be pointed out that the Tigers were benefactors of a controversial call in the seventh inning. With one out and the bases loaded, a ground ball was sent to short, and Bradley Lawson booted the ball as he was shielded by the runner heading to third. The Tigers didn’t complain, but the man in blue ruled that not only was the runner out, but that it was a double play! The Tigers enjoyed their good fortune and quickly scurried off the field.
Belle Plaine held a 7-2 lead into the ninth, but reliever Ben Jass was touched for a couple runs and needed help from Ryan Witt, who recorded his first save of the year.
