Mingoes head coach Shane Albury said the loss for the Mingoes came down to defense. “I knew that coming into the game it would be a rough one having three or four starters out of the game due to injuries,” he said. “However some of the errors that were made I didn’t expect those to happen but that’s a part of the game. A few errors blew it open in the third inning for them and they just took control at that point.”

The Mingoes play The Brackets 7pm Saturday June 22th at The Bankers Field at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex.
