In Game 1 of the day, the Red Devils added a single run in the third and three runs of insurance in the sixth inning after their four-run second. Hewitt got as close as 4-2 and 5-3 but couldn’t take the lead. Baker Green took the loss for Hewitt. He threw 120 pitches and allowed all 8 runs on 9 hits. Ethan Duhon drove in 2 runs for the Huskies. Kurt Kizer had a pair of hits.

He struck out 6 and was voted MVP of the series. “Offensively, we got guys on base a lot,” Mauldin said. “They turned some double plays on us. We couldn’t get the big hit when it mattered. We never quit. We had chances. You just have to tip your hat to Jax.”
