He got a no-decision once the Rawhide took the lead in the seventh with a three-run inning (at the time it was 3-1). RF Steven Duggar (2-3) hit his first home run of the season, and DH Jonah Arenado also hit his first while going 2-4. SS C.J. Hinojosa had an RBI single in the ninth to make it a one run deficit, but the team left the bases loaded in the ninth to end the game.

Due Up: @ Home 6:30 pm pt TBD vs Johnson

Low-A: This game got two innings in, and then rain suspended it with the score 7-0. DH Jalen Miller went 2-2 and drove in two. 1B Dillon Dobson had a two-run home run, his second of the year, and starter Cory Taylor struck out two in his two scoreless.
