The A's fell 2-0 on Saturday night in a classic pitcher's duel. Jordon Kontz threw a gem, going the distance and limiting the Champlin LoGators to just two runs on five hits.
The game remained scoreless until the fifth when Champlin broke through for a single run.
The LoGators added an insurance run in the top of eighth inning.
Mason Penske continued to have a great season at the plate, going 2 for 4.
Kontz had the lone other A's hit.
The loss was the A's fifth in a row.
The A's travel to Raymond on Sunday night to take on the Rockets in Corn Belt League play. First pitch is scheduled for 5:00 pm.
