After another victory for your Cane Cutters they have now moved to 10-5 by beating the Woodland Strykers 6-2.  On a 2 game winning streak  the team is poised for a deep run this season as they have been firing on all cylinders.

It did not look good from the beginning as the Cane Cutters fell behind early 2-0.

With Taylor Braley (Southern Miss), 1-5 on the night with a run scored,  on first, first baseman Adam Yacek (Miami of Ohio) walked to load the bases and to score second baseman Braedon Barrett (Northwestern State University). Next up was the designated hitter James Ziegler (Chandler Gilbert Community College) who had an RBI single that scored Braley. 2 more runs would then come across home plate as the Cane Cutters finished the bottom of the 5^th leading 4-0.

The scoring would not stop there as in the next inning 2 more runs would come across to score as catcher Alex Tucker would earn a stolen base and eventually score the 5^th run of the game to push the lead to 5-2.
