North Charleston extended their losing streak to seven on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 1-7 in the process. They came up short against the Stall Warriors, falling 16-1.

As for Stall, with the victory, they broke their 14-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-14. Their offense finally found a way to get into gear: the high-octane performance was a 180-degree turn from their last 13 games.
For Stall's part, Lance Janicki and Tyler Jones were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Janicki pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits.
