[IBL] The close pitching continues ...

[Santa Fe Prairie Dogs]

... in game 3, Mark Buehrle takes the mound for SDQ and promptly nails Kris
Bryant in the elbow, bottom of the first. The team trainer checks the rookie
over, but can't find evidence of where Buehrle's "fastball" made contact. Bryant
was reported to say he thought a bug had landed on his arm ...

... Hector Santiago drops a curve off the top of Marte's foot with 2 out in the
7th ...

For those keeping score at home, that's 6 hit batters in 3 games.
