The shorthanded Raiders couldn't muster much on offense and made some critical errors and fell to the Mudcats 26-10.
Most of the bright spots were held by the Davids: Balfour went 5-5 with a double and Gerds was 4-5 with three doubles and a blast to the fence for a home run. He also turned two highlight plays: In the third he fielded a hot shot at the hot corner, stepped on third and fired to Gidget Blaquera at second to get a double play. In the fifth, he dove to his left at SS, jumped up and threw to first to rob a Mudcat of a hit.
David Gratz smashed two of the best balls hit all day, and the RC and LC respectfully made spectacular running catches to rob him of extra bases on both. That's how it went on this day for the Raiders.
Cary Mitsuyoshi and Max Martin did contribute three hits apiece, but the rest of the lineup just could not follow their lead and we came up short.
