After a few steals and walks, Carter would get a nice home run with two men on base to put the score at 10-1 at the end of the first inning.

“I put in a lot of work in the offseason so I knew it was going to eventually happen but my hard work definitely showed on the field tonight,” Carter said.

Carter would strike out two batters in the second to keep JH with one run.
