The Mayhem, led by Lukas Dunn and CJ Amato, took down the Longhorns in a 10-0 victory.\u00a0 Dunn, who started the game for the Mayhem, threw a 4-inning no hitter; the game was called due to the run-rule. He finished with 4 strikeouts and only allowed two base runners, one on a walk and another on an error. The Mayhem came out hot with the bats, as Dunn led off the game with a double, only to be driven in the very next at bat by a CJ Amato RBI single. He then came into score on a fielding error by the Longhorns. With a 2-0 lead already in the bottom of the first, Brooks Belvedre ripped an RBI single through the infield to make it 3-0 Mayhem. The score would hold this way until the bottom of the third inning, where Nicky Gurrieri would make the score 4-0 on an RBI single. Another error by the Longhorns pushed Grant Guss, who got on base all three of his at bats, across the plate for a 5-0 lead.\u00a0 Belvedre would then notch his second RBI single of the day to make it a 6-0 ballgame. Dunn shut down the Longhorns offense in the top of the fourth inning, just as he did all day long. Ending the half inning with a swinging strikeout on his changeup which looked fabulous in this one. The bottom of the fourth inning featured a 4-spot put up by the Mayhem lineup. Which included an RBI single by Amato, an RBI fielder\u2019s choice by Caiden Dowling and a 2-RBI single for Gurrieri. 2 RBI single for Nicky Gurrieri makes it 10-0 Mayhem and ends the game.
