(Orem, UT) The Owlz offense once again struggled, striking out a season-high 18 times in a 6-1 loss to the Ogden Raptors on Tuesday night at the Home of the Owlz.
Ogden opened the scoring in the first inning on Tuesday thanks to a Justin Yurchak solo home run to right field. Ogden added one more in the second and then scored three runs in the third, opening up a 5-0 lead.
The Owlz got on the board in the thing inning. Jeremiah Jackson singled and then moved to second on an Andrelton Simmons single. D'Shawn Knowles then narrowly missed a home run, hitting a single off the wall in right. With the bases loaded and no outs, the Owlz would only muster one run, as Jackson scored on a wild pitch.

The Owlz struck out 18 times, topping their previous season high of 13 in Monday night's game. Raptors' reliever Melvin Jimenez (1-0) earned the win for the Raptors while Yoel De Leon (0-1) was charged with the loss.
