Express bats were mostly silent in a 10-2 defeat
The Isotopes wasted no time putting the Express in a big hole early with a 7 spot on the board and OUR Express just couldn’t overcome it!

After a long top of the 1st, the Express put a run on the board from a Sam Huff single bringing in Jonathan Ornelas to cut the lead to 6!
Grant Anderson, who finished the 1st inning, went 2.1 innings zeros, 2 walks, 3 strikeouts. He threw 37 pitches total- 23 strikes- 14 balls!
Bottom of the 3rd
