Whiteford extended their losing streak to three on Saturday, dropping their season record down to 17-7 in the process. They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 2-0 heartbreaker at the hands of the Dexter Dreadnaughts. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Bobcats have suffered since April 4th.
As for Dexter, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games.
For Dexter's part, the result came thanks to Cayden Cappelli's shutout, as he gave up just four hits. Cappelli has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Dexter saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Noah Fernando, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases. That's the most stolen bases Fernando has posted since back in April.
While Whiteford had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
