Hillsboro managed to slip by East Nashville Magnet the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Burros wound up with the same score they had in their last game (10-1), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. Having soared to a lofty ten runs in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.

Raiders fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team's lost against the Ravens since on Tuesday.
Montay Keel and Cody Calvin were huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. Throwing, Keel tossed 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

In other batting news, Trenton Hale was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Montario Ostine also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
