“I don’t want to call it frustration — it just felt like nothing was going our way, then you’d see the other team and [Benintendi] had three check-swing singles tonight,” France said. “It seems like it’s just been going up against us.

“I’m really proud of our group because I never really sensed an energy drop,” Jeffers said. “They kept their head on straight and stayed positive.”
