This was a fun game to watch, great pitching by both teams.  I was quite puzzled about why Marquess pulled Jordan Pries so abruptly in the 8th.   His pitch count wasn\'t that high and to me he looked like he was still pitching very well.   Anyone have some insight into that?

Given the nature of the regional with many games in little time, Pries may be needed again soon...perhaps that\'s why.  Then again, Marquess may have noticed something.

But he could be used as a closer in a very short inning situation...it preserves options.
