In the third inning, Cade showed some good velocity but his stamina started to wane. He gave up a couple of walks on close pitches and hit a batter on a curveball. One run scored on a passed ball. Cade was taken out of the game with the bases loaded. In that inning the other team ended up scoring 4 runs in total.
