It was a great day for pitching, especially if you were named Carson, as Carson Whisenhunt and Carson Ragsdale both had shutout outings…and their games weren’t even the best pitching performances overall, as San Jose flirted with the organization’s second no-hit bid of the season! Too bad about the offense today, though…

Lol I was wondering who gave up 6 in the 9th for the Rivercats. Why am I not surprised it’s Teng? I do not understand why he of all pitchers was brought up to the bigs earlier this season.
