This was the Raiders 7th loss on the trot and one that has started to knock some confidence in the team. You can tell when the batters are coming to the plate there isn’t the swagger that was there earlier in the year and a hesitation.

The Raiders continue to drop back and now have a record of 31-33.

The Raiders got the game going in the top of the second as Min-Kyu Yoo hit a solo home run 358 feet.

Mark Tice singled but was picked off at first. Enrique Huerta got a walk. Min-Kyu Yoo then singled that allowed Huerta to run by second and sprint to third. Alex Robinson bought Huerta home on a single while Yoo followed Huerta’s example and went passed second and ran to third. Mike Lentz then hit into a ground out but this allowed Yoo to come home.

for the first time in a number of games the Raiders could turn to Seth Fiebelkorn in the bottom of the 9th to try and win them the game. Fiebelkorn gave up only 1 hit as he did his work and picked up save number 16 for the year.

This 3-0 win broke the Raiders 7 game losing streak and moved them to 32-33 for the year. The batting is still struggling but hopefully the team will get confidence from the win.

The Oklahoma City Triplets added a 6th run in the bottom of the 8th as Edgar Diaz hit a solo effort 364 feet. This was the Raiders 7th loss on the trot and one that has started to knock some confidence in the team. You can tell when the batters are coming to the plate there isn’t the swagger that was there earlier in the year and a hesitation. The Raiders continue to drop back and now have a record of 31-33.
