In the bottom of the ninth, the Nuts loaded the bases against Rawhide (6-4) reliever Keegan Long (S, 1/2) with only one out. Joe Rizzo bounced a ball to first that Ramon Hernandez fired to the plate for a force out. Logan Taylor was the last hope for the Nuts but he struck out looking to end the game in which he went 3-for-5 with a run scored.
The Nuts' only run came in the fourth when Bryson Brigman delivered a RBI single against Rawhide starter Connor Grey (W, 2-0). Brigman finished 2-for-3 with a triple and a walk in the game. Grey worked 5 1/3 innings allowing one run on seven hits. He allowed the Nuts to go just 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position while he was in the game.
