While Byron Center might've come up empty on Tuesday, Kellen Payne wasn't going down without a fight. Payne didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over seven innings pitched. The effort also marked the fewest walks (three) he has had over his last two matches.
Even though Payne couldn't lead Byron Center over Caledonia, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Sadly, Payne's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Bulldogs' five-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Payne and the Bulldogs surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Tuesday's match. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
