Tre Cater had a standout night at the plate and in the field. Carter drove in the only two runs of the game for the Dust Devils with a two-out triple in the bottom of the second inning. He also threw out Yonathan Perlaza from right field in a close play at the plate for the final out in the top of the fourth inning.
