He finished with five strikeouts and took a tough-luck loss with a 2-0 defeat to the Georgia Bombers 17U Marucci. He made only one mistake, a two-out triple in the bottom of the sixth inning to score two runs on only the second hit he allowed all night. Despite the loss, an outstanding performance on how to pitch and give your team a chance to win a game.
