Late Score Costs Generals Against Sod Squad
June 30. 2021 – Victoria Generals lost the lead late in a 12-8 defeat to Amarillo Sod Squad. Generals 5-2 lead early was not enough as control problems would lead to late runs for the Sod Squad.

Samuel Benjamin doubles on a fly ball to left field that brings in an additional run by Ochoa that put Generals in the lead with 3 runs. On a sacrifice fly to center field by Adam Becker a fourth run was scored by Cristian Cienfuegos. In the bottom of the 3rd, Benjamin scores on a wild pitch. Benjamin scores another run on a passed ball in the 5th inning. Ochoa scores on a line drive to right field by Benjamin and ties up the game. The Generals earned their final run in the 8th inning when Cienfuegos scored on a wild pitch.

Kyle, Pierce, and Rios all sustain the lead, only allowing a combined two earned runs on three hits and three strikeouts in their four combined innings of work.
The Sod Squad came in hot with a line drive to right field by CJ Horn that brought in two runs. Bats went quiet for Amarillo, but they managed to come back in the 5th inning.

Amarillo earned their final run on a double by Cameron Mahaffy that brought in Green.
Brett Brown was the starting pitcher for the Generals and produced four solid innings, giving up only three earned runs on four hits with four strikeouts.

Acevedo did not record an out in his outing and allowed one run with three walks. Curry tried to get out of a bases-loaded jam and successfully did, only giving up one earned run but not the Generals lead. Curry also recorded three strikeouts in his one and two-thirds innings. Coldiron came on the mound to relieve Curry and ultimately gave up the lead. Coldiron received the loss after going two innings with three earned runs and four strikeouts.
