Call it a brutal night all the way around.

The Millers did cut the lead to 3-1 in the first when Carson Schultz scored as Jacob Russell reached on an error. Schultz was hit by a pitch and moved to third after stealing two bases.
Yukon cut the lead to 5-2 in the second and had a chance to put a bigger rally together. The Millers loaded the bases with two out and scored a run on a bases loaded walk to Schultz. The rally ended there as the next batter struck out.
Trailing 6-2, the Millers again tried to get a rally started in the bottom of the fourth. Yukon had two runners on and scored a run as Remy Plattner raced home on a passed ball, 6-3.
