TWO NICKELS: If you had a nickel for how many times the 'Pigs and WooSox had same the number of hits, you'd only have two nickels but it's weird it's happened on back-to-back days. Additionally, the run outputs for both teams during the games have been drastically different (5-2 WOR, 7-1 LHV). The big difference has been hit sequencing and XBH. On Wednesday, the 'Pigs had eight hits all singles, spread apart, while on Thursday they had five singles and one homer, but bunched together.
