Graham Gonzalez and Cameron Buckley each collected one hit for the Generals, and Angel Ramirez and Parker Brown each drove in one run. The Generals turned five double plays in the game. 

 

"We just hit too many pitches into the ground," said Generals manager Amir Wright, "we took too many pitches from a pitcher who was trying to pitch to contact."

 

The Generals fall to 5-10 and face the Elkhart County Miracle on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Brian Jennings Field.
