Generals look to bounce back from their 16-6 loss from the Cane Cutters on Sunday. The Generals are finishing their second home game on Free Ticket Night presented by UHV before going back on the road.

The Cane Cutters started the game strong getting five runs on board in the first three innings with their pitcher John Gray starting hot as he got five strikeouts in the three innings. Braylen Owens made his pitching debut for the Generals on the mound, giving up five runs and striking out two batters in three innings of work. Isiah Walker gets the Generals their first hit of the game in the bottom of the third.

Travis Phelps entered the game in the top of the fourth inning with two runners on base and struck out the next three batters from the Cane Cutters allowing no runs in the inning. Phelps continued to pitch well as he got through the top of the fifth with two runners left on base ending with his fourth strikeout of the game. Connor Adams entered the game for the Cane Cutters in the bottom of the fifth ending Gray's night with four innings of work striking out six batters and allowing only one hit.

Generals got the offense going in the bottom of the fifth with their baserunning and a patient eye at the bat as Brandon Galindo, Samuel Benjamin, and Chase Senguinetti walked to reach bases. With stolen bases, the Generals got their first three runs in the game to help bring the game closer as Galindo, Benjamin, and Walker reached home on errors and wild pitches.

Jay Ward entered the game for the Cane Cutters replacing Adams in the top of the seventh leaving the game with two innings pitched giving up five runs and three strikeouts. Generals changed pitchers in the eighth bringing in Austin Dean with Travis Phelps finishing with four innings worked with seven strikeouts.

Heading into the ninth inning, the Cane Cutters got their offense moving as they got a walk and a single to help bring home an insurance run heading into the bottom of the ninth. The Generals looked to rally from a three point deficit with Galindo, Benjamin, and Walker up in the order. With two outs, Walker gets on base from a walk but will be left stranded after Adam Becker flies out as the Generals will lose 6-3.

The Generals will take off for a quick trip to Brazos Valley tomorrow night before a three game home stand to finish this week on Wednesday with Brazos Valley and two games with Baton Rouge Rougarou.

The Generals continue their promotion-filled week for Generals fans with Wednesday a Free Ticket Night as well presented by Invista.
