Game Highlights: June 12, 2025 – After starting the season at 3-0, the Williamsport Crosscutters were swept by the
West Virginia Black Bears in a road series at Kendrick Family Ballpark, falling in the series finale by a 4-2 final score
on Thursday night to fall to 3-3 on the year.

Ryan Kennell led the Cutters at the plate from the leadoff spot, going 2 for 3 with a walk and a run scored, raising his

with one walk and five strikeouts. Brad Rudis would take the loss, falling to 0-1 on the season, after managing just 0.1
