St. Paul extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 28 on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 0-17 in the process. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 15-0 to the Erie Red Devils, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Indians were not able to make up for their loss to the Red Devils from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
As for Erie, the victory (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 6-14-1. The game marked their most dominant win of the season.
For Erie's part, Parker Hughes made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Hughes is becoming a predictor of Erie's success: when he allows at most one hit the team is 3-1 (and 3-13-1 when he doesn't). Hughes was even better at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Eli Montee was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with six stolen bases, four runs, and one double. Those six stolen bases gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Bryson Gildart, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and one stolen base.
While St. Paul had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
