Ozark had to settle for second on Wednesday, but Brock Benson sure wasn't going down easily. Benson struck out six batters over 4.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). The effort also marked the fewest walks (one) he has had since back in March.
