Cheverus had lost four straight at home, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 2-9 to make it five. They took a 6-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Portland Bulldogs. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Stags of the 5-3 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2024.
Portland's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-10. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
For Portland's part, Bailey Jordan made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Jordan was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one run and one double.
In other batting news, Lucas Milliken was excellent, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one run and one RBI. Those four hits gave him a new career-high. Thomas Chase was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
