They came up short against the Murray Spartans, falling 12-2.

Hunter saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Isaac Chavez, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. Thomas Woodruff also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
As for Murray, they pushed their record up to 13-3-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The result was nothing new for the Spartans, who have now won seven matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
On Murray's side, Bode Gladhart tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Gladhart has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Degan Biltz was incredible, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with four stolen bases and three runs. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Bryson Preece was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
While Hunter had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
