The offensive and defensive woes continue as the Rangers drop a 14-4 decision to the Camden Redlegs at Gastineau Field.  The Rangers staved off potentially getting run-ruled for the first time in the Backyard Battle series, of which they still lead 24-20. The team produced the same number of hits (5) as errors, but the misfortunes coupled with a number of slow infield dribblers by their opponent was too much to overcome.

​The game had the making of its usual competitive nature early on. In the top of the first, Rangers starter Brandon Saylor gave up a one-out double to Brad Malott and a single to Kyle Arend. After a strikeout, a couple of passed balls allowed the runners to score. But Saylor got his second strikeout to end the inning, and worked through a scoreless frame in the second.

​In the bottom of the second, Eric Becker singled and scored later on a single from Chris Ridl to cut the Redlegs lead to 2-1. In the top of the third, the Redlegs got the run back as pitcher Jesse Jones singled home Malott. The Redlegs threatened again in the fourth as they put a runner on third, but Saylor struck out Eric Jameson and Jacob Robinson before the Rangers went to the bullpen. Lefty Ryan Qvick entered a lefty-lefty matchup against Malott who already had two hits. Malott was able to work a walk before Qvick got a ground out to end the threat.

​The error bug bit the Rangers in the fifth as the Redlegs batted around to score 9 unearned runs. Two fielding errors, a throwing error and a couple passed balls prolonged an inning that put the game quite out of hand.

​Ridl picked up his second RBI knock in the bottom of the seventh, scoring Becker again to make it a 12-2 ballgame. The Redlegs tried for the run-rule in the top of the 8th as Brandon Howard turned on a Hunter Kraynak fastball and connected a deep 2-run home run to left field. The former Rangers infielder moved past Joe Staten for 4th place all by himself on the all-time MVABL HR list.

​The Rangers stayed out of the run-rule in the bottom of the 8th, as Nick Gilmore was hit by a pitch and moved all the way homeward on 3 wild pitches. Cooper Nolte pretty much did the same in the bottom of the ninth accounting for the final run of the game. 

Kenny Owens worked a scoreless 9th inning.

Offensive highlights: Chris Ridl 2-for-3, 2RBI; Eric Becker 1-for-3, 2 runs, walk
