Although the Raider men started out ahead, soon bad calls put the men behind two runs. Several goods plays were made by the Raiders, as well as some interesting decisions by the coaches.
In the top of the 8th Jake Phillips was switched out for the first baseman Josh Potter. Potter proceeded to walk the batter.
While Phillips was still pitching he brought a controversial play to the umpires attention the caused the other team to lose a run. This caused an uproar from the other teams fans, who were very vocal to start with.
In the top of the ninth Coach Mike was ejected from the game, because of a call made. After a roughly 15 minute argument the coach was ejected.
Strictly from a spectators point of view this game had the most colorful language of any game attended this year. From both players and coaches.
Pierce lost the first game by 2 runs.
The Raider men however did take the win in the second game with a final score of 8-2. This game was not quite as interesting as the first game, but had slightly better language.
The Raiders broke there undefeated streak but good things are still to come in this season for them.
