Rapiers Turn Back Minnesota, 4-3
The 2028 season is off to a good start for the Durham Rapiers. The home Rapiers knocked off the Minnesota Loons, 4-3, at Rapiers Ballpark. Durham pitcher Darius Baxa was named player of the game. In 7.1 innings, Baxa surrendered 10 hits, while striking out 0 and walking 2. He allowed 3 runs. Jim Unknown got credit for the save for Durham. It was his 1st of the year.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the sixth, with the game tied, Colt Cabana was at the plate when Durham scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Rapiers to go in front, 4-3.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling pretty confident after that win," said Cabana.
