As for Burns, with the loss, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 8-3-1.

Vale has already played their next contest, a 10-1 victory against Baker/Powder Valley on the 30th. As for Burns, they will welcome Lakeview at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. The Honkers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.42 runs per game on average), something the Hilanders will no doubt try to take advantage of.
