On Friday, they faced Utah’s Wasatch Black team and lost that one 8-4. Saturday, they lost to Utah’s PCH (pitch, catch and hit, a showcase club) and lost that game 5-2. The weekend wasn’t a total loss. On Sunday the Outlaws faced Wasatch Gold in a battle of the offenses and Evanston emerged victorious 11-6.
Against the Rockies, the Outlaws hit 13 compared to the Rockies eight hits but those eight hits were enough to win the game.
The Rockies took an early lead in the second inning but the Outlaws tied the game up at two in the third inning when Braedon MacDonald doubled, allowing two runs.
The Rockies took the lead for good in the fourth inning when Spencer Evans doubled off of a Beau Lloyd pitch and scored two runs.
The Outlaws mounted a comeback in the seventh inning thanks to a single by Cris Periman and a single by Brenden Thompson that scored three runs, but it was too late.

Saturday the Outlaws fell behind PCH early and just couldn’t find their way back. They did hit more than PCH, 6-4 but PCH took the lead in the first inning when D. Perkes drove in a run when he walked with the bases loaded. PCH did not commit a single error and Perkes made the most play with five.
