Just two Nationals appeared in the game:
- Teo Banks came in on defense in the 5th and grounded out in 7th. He had one putout.
- Brock Gillis, who appears to have replaced Owen Puk on the roster, cordero’d around an error and a single in the 7th to preserve the shutout. He struck out two.
The Rafters (7-5) return home tomorrow to host the Desert Dogs (2-10).
As you may have seen in the comments, Jerry Kime is back in action and has provided us some of the first pics of the 2026 AFL campaign. Picture above is Noah Dean. Below are R.J. Sales, Jarlin Susana, and Teo Banks.
