The RoughRiders did get that run back with Dustin Harris’ 1st home run of the season. Speaking of Harris, he has quietly put together an 8-game hitting streak.
The tied game at 1-1 didn’t last long as the Naturals put up two runs in the top of the 3rd from a 2-run home run by Nick Loftin to make a 3-1 game.
The RoughRiders got one of the runs back in the bottom of the 3rd due to a throwing error by first baseman Robbie Glendinning to make it a 3-2 game.
