Despite not allowing a hit, walking just 3 and striking out 14, Witt did allow an unearned run in the bottom of the 6th, courtesy of a not-at-all-unexpected 2-base error by rightfielder Pete Incaviglia. Still, together with the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=929]near-no-hitter thrown by Ed Correa[/url] the night before, the Mariners have combined for 2 runs on 1 hit in their last 2 games.
