It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Higley can now relate to. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (2-1), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. They haven't had much luck with the Colts recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.
Jet Gonzalez was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he tossed 6.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off ten hits. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in March.
At the plate, Higley saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Cam Jantz, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.
Higley's loss dropped their record down to 18-11. As for Casteel, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-8 record this season.
As of now, neither Higley nor Casteel have any future games scheduled.
