Draughn had to settle for second on Thursday, but Nolan Ballard sure wasn't going down easily. Ballard tossed 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. The performance marked the fewest hits he has had since back in March.

Sadly, Ballard's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Wildcats' four-game streak of wins on the road. With the streak broken, Ballard and the Wildcats surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Friday's match. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
