The Sand Gnats had a tough time and scored a collective two runs in their pair of losses to the RiverDogs.  In the first game, a nice start by Jeremy Mizell went to waste and he fell to 3-9 despite the effort.  He gave up two runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.  D.J. Wabick provided the lone run in the 2-1 loss with a solo homerun.

In the second game, the Sand Gnats once again got just the one run, once again off a solo homerun.  Joe Holden provided the long ball and he finished the game two for four.  Josh Stinson took the loss and he fell to 3-9 on the season.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks with one strikeout in 4 1/3 innings.

Jeremy Mizell fell to 3-7 on the season in a tough start in the Sand Gnats 7-3 loss to the RiverDogs.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts in four innings.

The Sand Gnats had more errors (4) then runs (3) but D.J. Wabick was the hitting star for the Sand Gnats.  He went three for four and he scored a run.

Talk about an ugly game.  Jeremy Mizell gave up five runs in four innings and while he took the loss, this blowout was a team effort.  The worst offender was Jonathan Castillo, who was tagged for eight runs in his one inning of work.

Brahiam Maldanado went two for four with a double.  Sean McCraw hit a solo homerun and he drew a walk.

The Sand Gnats and Catfish combined for 27 hits but only five runs in a 3-2, fourteen inning pitchers duel.  Matt Durkin threw 6 2/3 solid innings in his start and Jeremy Mizell gave up the losing run and he dropped to 2-4 on the season.

Josh Thole was the hitting star.  He went three for six with a double, a run and an RBI.
