Jung drives in a pair in Roughriders first win of the season
Saturday night was a rather crisp one for an April night. On the mound for the Roughriders was Mitch Bratt who faced off against a rehabbing Lance McCullers Jr for Corpus Christi. The night began off rough for Bratt as he worked both of the first batters to an 0-2 count but proceeded to get on base via some weak hit singles.

Last night Jung took an 87mph sinker from Phil Maton off his right wrist, causing a fracture that will leave him out for an extended period of time. It is still unknown the severity of the injury, but it's safe to assume we won't see the All-Star third basemen back on the field until late May at the earliest. An all-too-familiar blow to the second year standout who
