AFL Update: Oct. 23, 2024

Salt River erased a 4-0 deficit with a five-run 5th, then took a 6-4 lead before giving it back on a pair of two-run HRs in the 7th and 9th innings to fall, 6-4.

Robert Hassell started in center field and batted third. He reached base three times on a single and two walks, scoring once, stealing a base, and plating one on a base-loaded walk. Defensively, he had two put outs and fielded a single.

Micahel Cuevas was the first Rafter reliever and retired four of six batters without allowing a run. He walked none, gave up two hits, and struck out two.

Matt Cronin surrendered the tying runs in the 7th on the first aforementioned HR, and gave up three hits total without a walk or a whiff in the 7th.

Luke Young took the loss, giving up the game-winning HR after allowing a leadoff single. He walked one and struck out two in the 9th, his only inning pitched.

The loss drops Salt River back to .500 at 6-6. The Rafters host the Saguaros (8-4) tonight.
