BOTTOM OF THE ELEVENTH
Calvin Wolf came in to play Left Fielder. <--->
Derrick Buller struck out. <--->
Carlos Delgado walked. <--1>
Toby Collier laid down a sacrifice bunt to the catcher. <-2->
Derrick Urber came in to pitch for the Rangers. <-2->
Calvin Caridad pinch ran for Carlos Delgado. <-2->
I find it a bit odd that the pinch runner would come in AFTER the sacrifice bunt is made, considering sac bunts can fail. Usually in this situation late in the game, you want the runner at second to be fast and thus more likely to score on a base hit, but when your runner is still at first and you're planning on bunting him over to second and then pinch running for him, I would think that it makes more sense for the pinch runner to come in BEFORE that bunt is made.
