After a string of seven wins, Fayetteville's good fortune finally ran out on Tuesday. They came up short against the Rogers Mountaineers, falling 15-9. The loss put an end to the Bulldogs' undefeated start to the season.

Watts wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Fayetteville lost a few balls and finished the game with four home runs. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now launched at least four home runs in five consecutive contests.

Having lost for the first time this season, Fayetteville fell to 7-1-1. As for Rogers, the victory was the third in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 3-1.

Looking ahead, Fayetteville will square off against Har-Ber at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (Har-Ber has won three straight at home, while Fayetteville won four straight on the road dating back to last season), something that'll have to change. As for Rogers, they will host Rogers Heritage at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Rogers' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so Rogers Heritage's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
