Steven Cutler was 1 for 2 with a single and a run scored, Steven also made the play of the night as he played a run down situation like a seasoned pro as the Royals had a Nevada1 player hung up between 2nd and 3rd and a bobbled throw at 2nd looked like it would enable the nevada1 runner to advance to 3rd but a heads-up Steven Cutler had rolled around in behind the run down and was positioned perfectly at 3rd and applied the tag to the Nevada runner on a 5-4-5-4-6 putout.
