The Cane Cutters suffered a devastating 28-0 loss to the LLL Challengers, then bounced back to defeat the Brazos Valley Bombers 5-4. The game was tied at four with the Cane Cutters batting in the bottom of the eighth when an error scored one run to take the lead.
The Brazos Valley Bombers scored three runs in the eighth inning, but the Cane Cutters still managed to pull out the victory. Tyler Smith, Bryant Shellenbarger, and Ridge Rogers powered the big inning with RBIs.
Cane Cutters opened up an early lead in the second inning when University of Southern Miss. (USM) product Hunter LeBlanc drew a walk and scored a run.

Golden Eagles pitcher Drew Boyd (USM) had an impressive outing when he stepped on the mound. He threw seven innings allowing only 6 hits and 1 base on balls while striking out five throughout his outing. He also allowed only 2 earned runs which put him into the conversation for our Powerade player of the game but was bested by fellow pitcher Kris Peet.

Peet picks up his second save on the season after recording his first save last night! Peet is also the first closer in Cane Cutters history to win the Powerade player of the game honor and not share the title!
