“After a rough top of the first, D-Stan settled in and shutout the Raildogs for 8 innings and the Canes chipped away at the lead,” noted Manager Davy Johnson.  “We played well again defensively, turning 3 double plays to keep the Raildogs from crossing home plate after the first inning.”

Next games for the Canes are Friday at 7:30pm at Breckenridge and Sunday at 1:30pm at Dent to round out the regular season.

The Canes are now 10-3 overall and 9-0 in league play.
