It was a dominant performance from the Clippers, especially defensively. Kahil Watson continues to impress and make his case to be added to the 40 man roster this winter. He went 1-4 with another HR. His OPS is up to .840 since being promoted to AAA. Milan Tolentino went 1-4 with his 21st home run on the season.

relief with two strikeouts.
The Hillcats have done it! They are your 2025 Carolina League Champions. It was a dominant performance that started early with Riley Nelson hitting a 2 run Home Run in the first inning. He ended the day 3-5, Juneiker Caceres went 2-4 with a walk, Dean Curley went 3-5 with 2 RBIs, Cannon Peebles went 2-5 with 3 RBIs, and Nolan Schubart went 2-5 with an RBI. A lot of dominant performances from the Guardians 2025 draftees.
