U-21 Drop Generals, 3-1
In a low-scoring game between the Athletic Club KC U-21 and the Washington Generals, pitcher Kas Groen was masterful on the mound. The Athletic Club KC right-hander was named the player of the game in Athletic Club KC's 3-1 win. In 5 innings, Groen surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. With the win, Athletic Club KC goes to 33-56, while the Generals fall to 45-44.

A key at-bat in the game came in the top of the fifth inning when the U-21 sent teenager Fernando Rodríguez to the plate against Generals hurler Baker Mayfield. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a double off a 1-2 changeup to score 2.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said Washington manager Felipe Tañón, "let me know."
