The Raiders led 4-2after 4 innings behind strong nights from Brady Nugent and Caleb Moran. Nugent doubled and scored twice. Moran had 3 hits and a pair of RBIs.

But four defensive errors and a timely hit by Joe Duncan pushed the Wildcats in front.

Timothy Henderson started for the Raiders and worked 3 solid innings – allowing 2 runs (none earned) while striking out a batter. Cole Pippenger was tagged with the loss in relief. He allowed 6 runs (4 earned) while striking out three.

The loss drops the Raiders to 8-13 on the year.
