Cesar Puello led off the 6th inning with a triple-he scored on a double steal when Jet Butler stole second. Puello went 1-for-2 and stole his 39th and 40th base of the year. Doyle was 1-for-3 with a run scored.
Savannah Sand Gnat starting pitcher, Collin McHugh, pitched 1 2/3 innings giving up 9 runs on 7 hits and walked two. McHugh is now 3-7 for the year.
It may not have been a great game for the Gnats, but being the first game we ever saw, we had an incredible experience meeting you and Lon and feeling the energy of the crowd despite losing. Baseball isn't always about winning, but the comradery amongst fans. Thanks again for making it such a wonderful experience for my family!
