The Braves outshot the Loggers in both halves and had 9 more points off turnovers. Those two numbers spelled disaster for the Loggers.

"We have had a chance to win every loss this year, but have not been able to close at the end. It is something we have to get better at. We had some silly turnovers down the stretch that we have to clean up. More importantly, we did not get defensive stops when we needed them. We get another chance tomorrow," Coach Jones said after the game.

The Loggers will take on the host Carl Sandburg Chargers tomorrow at 3 pm.
