It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Durant can now relate to. They fell just short of the Martin County Tigers by a score of 3-2 on Wednesday. That's two games in a row now that the Cougars have lost by just one run.
Owen Franklin was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched 5.1 innings while giving up three earned runs off three hits. What's more, he gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had since back in March.
Durant's loss ended a five-game streak of away wins and brought them to 15-10. As for Martin County, they are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-8 record this season.
While Durant 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.
