"Honestly, I didn't even know the situation was what it was until the seventh inning," Hamilton manager Robert Davis said. "I happened to look up there to see how many hits we had gotten, and I happened to notice that they hadn't gotten any." Commenting on the defeat, losing manager Ramón Arroyo had a "pretty simple" analysis of the game. "The Industrialists had all the hits and all the runs, so they won," he snapped.
