They may have to play some regular season games here, but the Yankees’ trip to Dunedin today was purely an exhibition match. That was apparent in the lineup that they brought over, and for eight innings it lived up to expectations — there wasn’t much of anything going on for the bats.
Things changed in a hurry in the ninth, however. Down a run and in danger of getting shut out, the Bombers got their first six batters on base to start the inning. CJ Van Eyk completely lost the strike zone, walking three straight batters to give over the tying and winning runs.
