Friday night’s 9-1 rout of the No-Place-Designation-but-West Sacramento-Sacramento-soon-to-be-Las-Vegas-I-guess Athletics was a discourse between two players, a classic back-and-forth display between man with bat and man with ball.
This is how it went: starter Logan Webb, who allowed one run over 8 complete innings, would throw a baseball and an A’s hitter would pound it into the ground where it was scooped up by a Giants infielder and shuffled on to first. Then about every third inning or so Wilmer Flores would send a baseball into the first or second row of the left field bleachers for a home run.
