Eau Claire, WI\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Express lose their first game in the 2nd half<\/p>\n

Eau Claire Express Postgame Recap:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Another tough outing for the Express tonight as we fall to the Huskies here at Carson Park. The bats were rolling here and there, but even a late 9<\/span>th<\/span> inning surge wasn\u2019t enough to push the boys in orange to a win.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the pitching side of things, only 2 pitchers saw the mound, but between the 2, 8 runs were scored on 9 hits. In addition, 5 walks were issued, which of course, didn\u2019t help the cause too much.<\/span><\/p>\n

Batting, the 8 hit charge was led by Ventura\u2019s Anthony Chavez, Nova Southeastern\u2019s Alejandro Macario, and Stanford\u2019s Carter Graham, who each had their fair share of contributions. Although the batting stats were similar between the two teams, the Express just didn\u2019t put the hits together in orderly time, and with that, fell for the first game of the 2<\/span>nd<\/span> half.<\/span><\/p>\n

From here, we go on the road to face the Huskies in Duluth tomorrow and stay on the road until we finally get back to Carson Park Monday, July 12<\/span>th,<\/span> to face off against the Willmar Stingers.<\/span><\/p>\n
