Kaufman managed to slip by Van the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. The Lions lost 9-1 to the Vandals on Saturday. The Lions were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Vandals apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2022.
Kaufman saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jack Crutcher, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base and one RBI. Angel Montes also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
