Kenneth Whobrey and McCoy Morgan were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Whobrey tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Morgan pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (two).
