Baseball Recap: Roy Comes Up Short

Roy got a good showing from Jace Barela, who pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits. Barela has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, James Cochran was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI. Logan Vorwaller also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
