Thunder Bay, ON- The Rafters fall to 0-3 against the North this summer, as they fall to the Border Cats by a score of 11-4 tonight.

All the Rafters offense came in 5^th inning tonight, as Brock Carpenter (Seattle) plated his college teammate Michael McCann (Seattle) for the Rafters first run of the ball game. Ryan Cleveland (Georgia Southern) plated Zack Domingues (Long Beach State) on an RBI single. Jake Sandlin (Southern Mississippi) plated two more runs for the Rafters as he drove in Cleveland and Beau Jordan (LSU).
